Synopsis
It's the book that started it all, the well-loved edition that first bought Betty Crocker cookbooks into American homes and hearts. 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., Enjoy the original 1950 edition of the beloved Betty Crocker Picture Cook Book, as charming--and useful--as it was when it was first published.

    Great transaction. I've only traded with them a couple of times, but they seem consistent. The quality of the book was better than described, incredible packing, with next day shipping. I will deal with On Time Books again in the near future. Great value for the money, many thanks.

    Best Cookbook Ever

    My Mom had a cookbook like this in the 50's, I had the next issue which was Betty Crocker's NEW Picture Cookbook. Pretty much the same recipes, but with a different cover, so I can truthfully say that Betty Crocker taught me how to cook. Unfortunately, after 40 years of use, I used my cookbook to death. Some people think that old recipes must not be as good, but not so. The old recipes are usually the best, and this is a cookbook that a person could, and would want to use every day. Good old down-home cooking. It can teach you how to make simple things like gravy meatloaf all the way up to fancy dishes, so it could be the only cookbook a person would ever need. I compared this new reproduction cookbook with an old version of it. The pages in the new version are much whiter, so ...

  • Great cookbook!

    I have observed my mom using this book when I was little and now I use it in my kitchen. I love it ! It is my go to book when I want to find a recipe or check something out. It contains great, usable, practical recipes. But you can find anything you want in here. I bought this as a gift for my brother, who was also looking for the same book to add to his kitchen. So thanks to eBay, I found one very easily!

  • Comprehensive, using ingredients that grandma used to use

    I purchased this for my 90-year-old mother who wore out her original Betty Crocker cookbook years ago. She wasn't happy with the edition that was available (1982) when she needed a replacement. She missed the recipes i in the old edition. Her eyes lit up when she realized she had her old cookbook again, but brand new.

  • Great For New Cooks/Bakers

    Great cookbook for the new cook/baker! I got this because my mother-in-law had gotten it from her mother-in-law many years ago. They are both gone and I worried the book would be out of print for my daughters. So much basic info and great old recipes. I wish my mother-in-law had given one to me when I was first married! She didn't. Hmmmm ...
