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 bought this cookbook back in 1962 for a class at high school. I thought back then it was a very good cookbook. I used it a lot and as life goes I wore it out but still used it today.I was so happy to buy another one the cover has changed but it is just the book that I have looked for years. I have seen a lot of books at garage sales and could not find this one there was ones almost the same only not as good as this one.This is a cookbook that should not be forgotten it is the BEST.

I replaced my Wife's original 1950 version (which was falling apart) several Christmases ago. She (and I) have had many of the dishes in the cookbook and find the book very useful and the recipes delicious. Thank You.......Homer

Fair but not the book I bought in the early 60tys. Put it on the rack with my other cook books. Will continue to look for the Betty Crocker cook book I had in the 1960's.
