My kid sister and I embarked upon our own "traditions" of course during the holidays. One of the best was the gift of Betty Crocker's Cookbook back in the early 70's. I'd given her, her very first cookbook. I had no idea back then it would become such a hallmark in our lives. Finding this cookbook now, before the revisions changed some of the recipes is difficult. However, it is that book that she now wishes to give to her daughters. I feel your putting this on a cd was genius and a blessing to those who can appreciate it. Who knows how many generations that particular version of the book might touch once the well worn pages in these books are handed down and the cd to breath life into how great great? grandmom took such care to cook for her family.. and the memories that might be inspired. Even son's being sat to decorate the cookies. The book itself is tactile, the memories inspired by aroma's from the kitchen no less important. Therefore, keeping the book available for use in modern kitchens no matter the generation .. is exceptional. Thanks.. MrsT444Read full review
I own this cookbook and it is great for finding really basic things like how long to cook a ham or other cut of meat. Although the microwave section was written as they first came out, it still has some good tips. I bought it for my daughter for Christmas. She gets a lot of great recipes on the net but did not have just a basic cookbook. I highly recommend this book.
My husband bought me this cookbook for our 1986 wedding. Once I got over being pissed off about it, I realized that this is one of the best gifts I've ever received. It is now well worn at 23 years old and I just purchased another "vintage" copy for my daughter on Ebay. If she uses hers only a fraction of the time that I've relied on mine, it will be well worth it. This is a great reference cookbook!!
My mom got this cook book for a wedding gift in 1981 she uses it alll the time and I wanted one thank goodness for eBay! This book is perfect and exactly the same as my moms!! I'm so excited.

My mom has used this cookbook for years. Her copy was literally falling apart so I tracked down the exact same one so I could replace her old one. I was so happy to be able to find it.

This is a staple of any baker's kitchen. Betty is my go-to for pie recipes and other classic desserts. You know how your mom/dad/grandma/grandpa had a copy in their kitchen when you were growing up? There is a reason for that

Was in pretty good shape for its age. Good price.

This is the cook book I grew up with and learned to cook from. Im so pleased to find another copy as my previous one was given away by a family member. I recommend this book to any person wanting to learn to cook or anyone looking for simple and delicious recipes. Can't wait to send this one to my 20 year old daughter.
I bought this cook book because of the history of it... and I LOVE IT!! It has all the traditional recipes that my grandmother and great grandmother used. I would recommend that if you have the opportunity to get this cook book you DO IT!!
I too had the same story as the seller. I've loved this cookbook because with it you can cook just about anything from scratch with common basic ingredients. My original cookbook is worn out from use and I was please to find it on CD so that I will never be without it.
