Easy and Simple Recipes

This is a great collection of favorite receipes. The best thing about this book is you have the ingredients on hand. I hate it when I have to buy something exotic that I won't use in another 10 years.

Simple and Delicious

Published in 1998, this book features >200 classic Betty Crocker recipes accompanied by full color photos. The book features the winning recipes of 75 Betty Crocker contestants and their stories.<p> I found a lot of the recipes easy to make and with ingredients that were readily available. Featured Chapters include:<br>1. Breakfast<br>2. Lunch- soup, salads and sandwiches<br>3. Dinner- beef, chicken, fish and vegetarian meals<br>4. Sides/Breads<br>5. Desserts<p>The book also featured an introduction on the development of food icon Betty Crocker- from 1921 to present day. The real purpose of the book was to highlight the 75 women across America who developed their own recipes. My favorite recipes incude:<br>1. Strawberry muffins- delicious with a great strussel topping and suprisingly easy to make<br>2. Orange Currant Scones- i made this with dried cranberries instead of the harder to find currants<br>3. Popovers- rich and buttery

New favorite!!

I received this cookbook as a christmas gift from my father-in-law. The recipes are easy to follow, with simple ingredients, and they are so good! There is a variety of recipes, from breakfast, to soups, to meatless meals, to desert, and everything in between! I have really enjoyed this cookbook because it doesn't strain my budget to cook from it, I am a young mom with a 13 month old baby so that is important to me! My husband has also enjoyed the recipes, we haven't yet found anything that we didn't like! I also sent this cookbook to my sister as a wedding shower gift! I would definitely recommend this cookbook to beginners and those who have been cooking for years and would like something new!
