Published in 1950, this ground-breaking title made cooking easy, it made cooking appealing, and best of all, it made cooking fun. Packed full of practical tips, useful hints, and lavish color photography, this was the book that shaped cooking for generations, the book that people remember.
Every recipe you -- or your mother -- ever wanted is here, from pigs in blankets, to Emergency Steak to Chicken Tomato Aspic. Enjoy the clever ideas throughout -- twelve months of birthday cake ideas, showing how to decorate a cake to match each month's gem stone, pointers to make setting up a kitchen easy, or hints to make housework more pleasant.
Feel a part of history when making Home Front Macaroni, developed during WW II rationing to stretch meat. Get into the spirit of fun with a Betty Crocker Cookie Shine or cookie baking party. People who grew up with this book will want it for the memories; those who are new to the book will want it for its charm and its intelligent approach to cooking. It's a perfect keepsake and a great gift.
I was very disappointed in this cookbook. It was sold as "like the 1950's edition". There were some pages that are the same (the pictures pages) but the recipes are not the same and in many cases there is a key recipe with modification to it for other recipes. Such as, the recipe for "Ethel's Sugar Cookies in the old book is now just a key recipe that is modified -- and not even anything like the original recipe for sugar cookies. The Chocolate Chip recipe is the same. Over all I would not recommend this if you are looking to replace an old edition. Very disappointing.

After I look through hers I might buy myself one. How about Re-publishing the 1961 "The New Picture Cookbook" as well?

She used the wonderful cookbook to learn to cook. I,in turn, purchased my own copy. The recipes are timeless. Anytime I make anything this is the book i turn to. The book has truly been a life saver for me and my mom. She fed a husband and six childern many delicious tried and true "betty crocker" meals. I am carrying on the tradition! This copy was a gift from my dad to my sister. She always has to call me for our favorite dumpling recipe. She feeds a husband and five children!

Lots of the graces of good dineing and table graces have been lost over the years. I am fortunate to find this edition again. I am giveing it to all my grandaughters and great grandaughters. It has a wonderful store of time tested recipes. I am now in my mid 70s and still use my original Cookbook that was given to me as a wedding present in 1954. Tattered and worn but still in use. Thanks for bringing back this addition.
