A captivating collection that celebrates the wonderful recipes from the Betty Crocker archives in a package that appeals to the modern cook? Betty Crocker Lost Recipes is the ultimate treasure for the most devoted Betty Crocker fans, as well as cooks who are interested in recipes with a retro/nostalgic twist. Eighty percent of the book includes tried-and-true recipes that simply aren't in today's cooking repertoire - mainly from-scratch recipes that are hard to find. Twenty percent is a fun look back at some of the cooking customs of the past that may not be worth repeating, but are worth remembering. Features include ideas like "How to Throw a Hawaiian Tiki Party," and the robust introductory pages contain interesting stories, anecdotes, and artwork from Betty Crocker's history. Recipes are carefully curated to ensure that they are still relevant, achievable, and made with available ingredients - think Beef Stroganoff, Chicken a la King, Waldorf Salad, and Chiffon Cake. These lost recipes are ready to grace the tables of a whole new generation of cooks.

great 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.
