Description

Since 1930, the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book has been a trusted staple in kitchens across America. The 17th edition is fully updated and revised to reflect both the best of today's food trends and time-tested classics. With more than 1,000 recipes and a photo for each one, the book covers both traditional dishes such as Brownies and new favorites like Cold Brew Coffee. This newest edition has a fresh organization to reflect how we cook today-recipes have flavor variations, options to swap out ingredients, and ways to make them healthier. Clear directions and how-to photos teach techniques; identification photos clarify the broad range of today's ingredients; charts for meat and poultry give at-a-glance cooking times; and "cheat sheets" throughout present information in easy-to-access bites. And, for the first time, the book is now a handy, lay-flat hardcover, perfect for today's kitchens. Read more

  • Loved by a die hard Betty Crocker user!
I bought this cookbook for my 25 yr old bachelor son because he is always calling me for basic, standard information when trying to cook or bake recipes off Pinterest. He went through my 1992 Betty Crocker one day and loved all the basic information it provided…definitions of cooking terms, substitutions, tips and techniques, etc. I understood since I learned to cook from my Mom’s 1970s edition. While I searched for an updated Betty Crocker, they were definitely not up to parr with the older editions. Attempts to order my 1990s edition resulted in sellers sending the wrong cookbook. Frustrated, I put away my prejudice and checked out some BHG cookbooks. After reading good reviews on this cookbook, I purchased it and was not disappointed. It is a fabulous comprehensive, basic cookbook with many practical tips and ideas to streamline meal prep. It is also beautifully illustrated, with pictures for every recipe. This old dog is still learning some new tricks. BHG has definitely earned my respect with this cookbook. Would recommend for beginners as well as experienced cooks. ... show more

  • What can I say, it’s a cook book.
I really like the spiral binding, makes it very easy to keep your place without having to put something on it.

She is now a 5 star cook, her family is now excited when it's time 4 whatever meal she is preparing 2 cook, they are ready 2 come sit at the kitchen table eager/ready 2 devour whatever she puts in front of them.

  • Beautiful and comprehensive cookbook
Everyone asks this question: What's on the menu for this week? This wonderful cookbook will help you answer that question several times a day and every day of the year! This is a beautiful and very comprehensive cookbook. I really like that they include a picture for every recipe. There is a wealth of information in this cookbook that includes every thing from the basics to more advanced info. Perfect for a novice chef! Lots of basic recipes that are great for every day but it also has recipes for special occasions, parties, brunches, etc. I also appreciate how they explain the different cuts of meat and cooking methods. The recipes use ingredients that I know and are not obscure. Most of them have ingredients that are in most pantries. All in all a very good cookbook with hundreds of recipes and abundant information to help anyone become a better home chef! This is a cookbook that I will turn to for inspiration and ideas for years to come! ... show more

  • Perfect for the modern first-time cook
My daughter-in-law doesn't know how to cook. These days 'Home Ec' is not a thing like it was when I was in high school. I had 3 years of 'Home Ec' and the BHG cookbook was one of our 'textbooks'. When I graduated high school my home ec teacher gifted all of us a copy back in 1981. I was extremely grateful since my mom was one of the 'liberated' set and felt it was beneath her to cook. I never starved thanks to the BHG cookbook I got from my H.E. teacher and I was able to raise my sons healthily because of this too. I have 3 BHG cookbooks.....my original from 1981 as well as a softcover edition I won at a raffle and a 3-ring edition that is on my counter (it's my 'go to'). My daughter-in-law has been teaching herself different things and is enjoying the detailed steps, the photos, and the tips that are pertinent to today's cook... like using rotisserie chicken from a grocery store if one is short on time for some recipes. The cover has an odd 'feel' to it and stains easily. It's a cookbook, so that kind of comes with the territory, however it would have been nice if it was a 'wipeable' cover like past BHG cookbooks. I agree also, it would have been nice to have a 3-ring version like past issues. I adore my 3-ring BHG cookbook and it has come in handy to pull out a page when space is at a premium, like holidays. I do recommend it still as a gift for the many new cooks.. wedding gift, graduation gift, etc... ... show more

  • Beautifully illustrated and practical cookbook
This cookbook is one of my favorite wedding gifts that I received. I grew up cooking from my mom's Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book, and this new edition is a wonderful update. It is a good quality cookbook that can manage consistent use and wear, and the cover is an easy clean material. There are beautiful illustrations on every page, and many of the recipes use easy-accessible or commonly on-hand ingredients. I especially appreciated the sections on hosting and cocktails, as my husband and I love to entertain. Lovely gift and great cookbook for every kitchen! ... show more
