This is a wonderful edition with its binder and tabs formatting. Although other versions are easy to use, this one allows for more flexibility. Highly recommended!!!
Don't know a sauce-pan from a fondue pot? Not to worry, Betty Crocker will tell you everything you need to know. In this classic book, appropriately subtitled "Everything You Need to Know to Cook," you'll be able to make do for dinner in thirty minutes or less, or plan a menu for fifteen guests or more (and set the table appropriately as well), by merely looking up the appropriate recipes. It works at all times, and under all circumstances. Best of all, it assumes no knowledge on the part of the average person! Don't know how to boil water? It's okay, Betty Crocker will walk you through step-by-step through hundreds of basic delicious recipes; from basic meatloaf to coq-au-vin; with uniformly workable results. It's been called, and is arguably, the ONLY cookbook you'll ever need.
For, those sophisticated palates the food is a little flat and a bit too much salt is called for in most recipes. All in all, it still is a lovely cook book to start with.
