I am new to cooking for myself and have been trying to find a cookbook that doesn't get fancy (who puts sour cream in their pancake mix ATK?) and has plenty of color pictures so I know what things should look like. Joy of Cooking missed the mark on the pictures but is very informative with tons of solid but slightly difficult to read recipes.So I purchased the Betty Crocker Cookbook for my Kindle software (PC and Android). One thing to keep in mind is that the "enhanced" stuff only works with iPad/iPod which really makes me mad. I'm sure this is about money through exclusive arrangements and not technology. However, I think most of the enhanced material is available on the associated website. I've watched a few videos on preparing pancakes and making bread.The organization of the Kindle book is outstanding. You have the typical, well laid out table of contents. Then at the beginning of each chapter you have the chapter table of contents you can click on to get to a recipe. At the end of each recipe you have links to bring you back to the book table of contents, chapter table of contents, related material, metric conversions and index. How convenient is that?The recipes display nicely on an Android tablet (Xoom) that I use in the kitchen. With the display set to timeout in 30 minutes I can keep the recipe in front of me all around the kitchen - lighter and more convenient than the book.The book contains a lot of information about food, tools, and techniques. These are the things a beginner in the kitchen absolutely needs to help gain experience. Each chapter starts out with tips applicable to the chapter and there are additional tips and information with many of the recipes. There are also plenty of pictures to guide you through techniques and to show outcomes. I especially like the 3-picture sequences of what I call "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" where they display a well prepared item (let's say biscuit), and two others that are cooked improperly. This helps to diagnose technique problems and has been invaluable to me.I've worked through a few of the recipes but I'll mention only two because they have been a problem since I started cooking.I have been terrible at making pancakes. I keep looking for simple instructions more than a recipe. Lately I've done a few things differently which have improved my pancakes but after using the heirloom recipe in this book along with watching the online video I now make pancakes I would be proud to serve to friends and family. I make them every morning.Another problem area for me has been yeast breads. I can't tell you how many breads I've tried and all have been a failure in one form or another. I've tried a bunch of different recipes, have a big Kitchen Aid stand mixer, use the best ingredients and every loaf has been a flop. Until last night. Of course I have been trying to adjust my techniques but last night I closely followed along the with the recipe for Classic White Bread in the Betty Crocker Cookbook and the outcome was a respectable loaf of bread. I have four books on making bread from authors like Reinhart and DiMuzio but not until I simplified things and followed the BC recipe did I come out with a loaf that I enjoy looking at, smelling and eating. I had a ton of fun taste testing this loaf with butter, cinnamon, honey, peanut butter and jelly and in a day or so French toast! (I enjoy eating slightly more than I enjoy cooking.)I have to say... even though Betty Crocker (General Mills) is a name associated with prepared/processed foods you can buy at the supermarket this cookbook doesn't use those foods as ingredients. For some reason I was expecting one of the ingredients for the heirloom pancakes to be Bisquick (General Mills). Nope. Just basic ingredients with no silly statements like "For best results use Betty Crocker Chocolate Frosting."Bottom line... this is the staple book. This is the one that must be in the kitchen. The recipes are simple and straight forward, just like Mom's cooking. They also form the foundation for experimenting and adding your own twists. Of all the products I have purchased from Amazon (lots) I rank this #1 for beating my expectations and immediate usefulness. No kidding. It is that good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Betty Crocker never disappoints! *by M***H on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2024* This cookbook is full of wonderful recipes to make for so many occasions! Most of them are simple which is why I enjoy using it so much. The book itself is durable with a nice binding in place with easy to flip through pages. The pages include colorful dishes which are enticing to make. This was well worth what I paid. It would make a great bridal shower gift! I highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I had this book sooner *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024* I didn’t know this book existed, it’s full of excellent advice and recipes. Lots of practical tips and some kitchen hacks. A very worthwhile addition to your cookbook library as well as an excellent first ever cookbook. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1281111-betty-crocker-cookbook-1500-recipes-for-the-way-you-cook](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1281111-betty-crocker-cookbook-1500-recipes-for-the-way-you-cook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
