Betty Crocker Lost Recipes: Beloved Vintage Recipes for Today's Kitchen by Betty Crocker Editors
Product Details
Web ID: 14788882great for harried cooks
The title pretty much says it all: recipes dating back to the first Betty Crocker cookbook, released in 1950, through the 1990s’ update. The 1950 "Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook" has proven so popular that it’s back in print, with fans including Woman’s Day magazine and Washington Post columnist Megan McArdle, who swears by it. (The Betty Crocker Cookbook has its very own Wikipedia page, by the way.) A few recipes in "Betty Crocker Lost Recipes: Beloved Vintage Recipes for Today’s Kitchen" predate that revered tome, but nearly all have been spruced up to make them more accessible to today’s harried cooks (e.g., microwave, canned ingredients, slow cooker, less sugar, salt and fat). If you subscribe to Saveur or Bon Appétit, this cookbook is not for you; for the rest of us — whether due to nostalgia or convenience — you’ll find plenty to like.
