by Betty Crocker (641.5 Cro)
I initially picked up this book
from the non-fiction New Book Display because the colorful cover caught my eye.
I was pleased to find large, colorful photos of every recipe (a must have!) and
readable print (I don’t like struggling with small fonts and squinting at
books).
This is not simply another
compilation of recycled, boring recipes. As the introduction reads, “This book
gathers the best tried-and-true favorites…”
We first get a history of Betty
Crocker and her many faces. Then recipes by category – Favorite Quick Breads;
Best Yeast Breads; Celebrated Main Dishes (including holiday recipes);
Irresistible Cookies, Bars, and Candies; and Unmatched Desserts. There’s also a
dozen gluten-free recipes, and some recipes for the slow-cooker.
There are no weird ingredients
you’ll never use again, and the accompanying photos are close-up and
mouth-watering. Just flip through the book and via the photos alone you’ll find
many recipes to tempt you.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love my
air fryer and instant pot, but sometimes I just want to use my favorite pans
and let the house become saturated with the scent and anticipation of a cooking
meal. I was not disappointed by the selection here.
