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.This gem has 449 pages (including index) with so many delicious recipes to serve up your friends and family for any occasion! Fun color photos & illustrations too!

First published in 1950, Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book is now reprinted in all its old-fashioned glory. Betty immerses you in a time when women were homemakers, cakes had at least two layers, and salad was iceberg lettuce. You may hesitate to recreate what your mother or grandmother probably cooked--if so, consider that back then we ate simply, in the days before the word foodie was invented. Many of the recipes suit today's harried lifestyle, as you see in Six Layer Dinner, combining eight cups of vegetables with a pound of ground meat, and Dainty Tea Brownies topped with colorful chopped pistachios. Hundreds of black-and-white photos, animated drawings, and quaint color spreads of prepared dishes aid you in using the recipes. Beginners learn how to measure ingredients, choose the best economical cuts of meat, and cut up round and sheet cakes for serving. There is even a section on how to set the table.  Best of all, perhaps, is the "Shortcut" section, where useful tips include cleaning a grater of cheese residue by rubbing it with a piece of stale bread. With more than 75 million cookbooks sold since 1950, Betty Crocker  is the name Americans trust most to level the culinary playing field with innovative new ways to make delicious simple through reliably tasty and intuitive kitchen solutions.

For 100 years, Betty Crocker has provided advice to millions of Americans through cookbooks, magazines, and social media! Here's your chance to own this like new copy!!
