Our Thoughts …

I have one of the 1970s versions of the Betty Crocker cookbook. It was on my grandma’s shelf before it was on mine. It is still one of my first references when I am cooking and baking. I was excited to see a new edition of this cookbook come out. It was hard to image it getting better that my go-to reference 1970s version but it did get better. There are so many new recipes in this book. I love the chapter layout with tabs of this book because it makes it so easy to find that dessert or appetizer you want to make. The tabs are in the old version and probably one of the reasons I love that book so much. I am thrilled they kept the tabs in the book to make it such an easy reference. They also kept the pictures. I love having a picture when I am making a recipe because then I can see if I flubbed it up or if I was almost close to making it. (I rarely claim perfection!) Over all this new edition is a much a have for a kitchen … even if you have an older version of the cookbook like I do. You will find something to love in this edition for sure!

You can find this cookbook over on Amazon right now for a great price! You can still order it and get it in time for Christmas too. This would make a perfect gift for someone who wants to start to cook in the new year, has an older edition of this book, or even just needs a great reference cookbook!
