The holy grail of cooking basics.

The best cookbook ever. I grew up with my mother having this, and now I have a copy of my very own.

Good cookbook for novice cooks; indexes at the start of each section are very helpful

Pretty much the cookbook. It's like the wikipedia of cookbooks :DIf I were to ever actually buy a cookbook, it would be this one.

This is my go to cookbook. If it's not in here I know I'm going to have to search high & low for a good recipe. Also this can be looked at as just a starter book. You can always jazz up the recipes as you feel more comfortable.

A classic cookbook. This is the 28th printing, found in a library sale. $2.00 and in pristine condition.

Of the over a couple of dozen cookbooks in our shelves, this general cookbook is one of the ones we've used the most over the years, certainly in the top four. The section tabs make it very easy to find recipes and the Special Helps section and inside covers make sure useful information is at your

My first cook book, purchased for a quarter at a garage sale while moving into my first apartment. I still have my copy, and use it. The standard basic cooking instruction manual necessary in any kitchen, much like a good frying pan or paring knife.

I would have to say that this has been one of the

best investments of my adult life, considering the original price, amount of useful and practical information and instruction, and years of service. Well, that and the fifty cent Revere Ware tea kettle I purchased around the same time frame and still using today.

Recommended for all first time householders and anyone who wants to learn how to cook.

For new and experienced cooks, I highly recommend Betty Crocker's basic cookbooks for one giant reason: the authors test the recipes in their kitchens, re-test, and then send them to home cooks. The result is easy to follow, foolproof recipes for a few people or double or triple them for a crowd.

They make terrific gifts, too, and are available on the used book market, often in pristine condition, not like my original from 1980 that is falling apart and stained.

This was my Mother's book when I was growing up and it was the first book I added to my own collection.
