Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book Hardcover – November 9, 1998

This cookbook is exactly like the one I used to have many years ago. I was watching Reba and a copy of this was in her kitchen. I never could remember the exact name until I saw it on Reba lol. I looked on Amazon and they had some! Ordered immediately. Once I received it I went to the blueberry muffin recipe and made them. Yep. It is THE BEST cookbook ever. Oh how I missed it. And it smells so amazing. Just like an old book should. It is in amazing condition considering it’s age. The pages are all in tact. My mother got me one like this when I was 20 and I’m 64 now. When I told her I found one she was so happy. She is now 90. Very happy with my purchase. So glad I found the right one.

Love the nostalgic cookbook. Just reading thru it brings back fond memories ❣️ The book is in excellent condition.

Fun Nostalgia book

This is a necessary purchase for every home of newlyweds. I got mine whenever I was first married and I still use it. I was 24 & now 83.

This book was a little on the pricey side, but I’m actually glad I invested in it. Not only is it a great glimpse into American popular culture in the 1950’s, it is one of the few cookbooks I’ve ever come across that is near universally applicable. By that, I mean there is actually a couple pages dedicated to explaining to readers how to adjust recipes for DIFFERENT ALTITUDES! I cannot overstate how rare it is to find a book that bothers to go into detail about how a baking recipe should be adjusted for multiple different altitudes. Most cookbooks these days are only geared towards audiences who live at or close to sea level, so if you live up in the mountains, you better be really experienced or buy a book specifically written for high altitudes and pray the recipe you’re looking for is in there.I’m not saying that the recipes are necessarily foolproof (if there’s anything I’ve learned about baking, it’s that ANYTHING can happen), but they are incredibly accessible whether you’re a professional baker, or a high school or college student who’s just started learning to cook for themselves.One thing I would mention, however, is the importance of reading through the recipe you’re using a few times before you actually make it. Since this reprint is of the 1950 edition, every recipe is from scratch, so your time for mixing is limited by however long the leveners used are active - which can range anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes.

This 1950's vintage cookbook is amazing.. I have been using the recipes out of my mom's 70's version for years and years. I can say without a doubt this is the perfect cookbook for any home baker/cook who wants to recreate some of the old traditional favorites. Would make a great gift for young girls learning to cook or new wives/mothers who want to have a little tradition around the house during the different holidays and social gatherings that pop up throughout the year.

Product is well made; pages turn easily with no need for a bookmark. Love the sprinkling of pictures and cooking history. Brings back memories of bread cooking at home❤️

I ordered this for my mom and it got delayed. I was sad at first we been looking to replace this cook book for years. I'm like ok we waited what's a little longer. I ordered the hard cover not the spiral one but I was sent the spiral 1. That's OK your getting the best free advertising this book can get. Back in the day my mom wanted this cook book and my aunt got it instead was originally my grandmother's first so my mom just had a few recipes written down from this, so yes I'm that woman who found out after 45 years we where making banana cake in bread pans and passing it off has the world's best banana bread it's so good though so if you order this cook book the best banana bread recipe is under banana cake do the large recipe and just throw it in for 35-45 minutes check with a toothpick that it cook though you are welcome.
