OK so this is the end all be all most amazing cookbook EVER if you ask me. I have looked forever and a day for a cookbook that not only has great recipes but also shows you the BASICS. Not everyone was born a good cook, or has had the opportunity to learn from previous generations. And some of us that were blessed for those experiences, still need a little help when it comes time to actually make things happen on your own. Well this cookbook is that cookbook. It has all the great Betty Crocker recipes, and it also has pages and pages of basic information.
The front of the book starts with not only a list of basic kitchen gadgets you needs, but a description of what each one is used for and a photo. It has lots of entertaining ideas, how to properly set a table, things like that. The first chapter is all the cooking basics like how to measure dry ingredients versus wet ingredients, basics to stock your pantry with, a glossary of cooking terms, lots of basics that you can never seem to find in other cookbooks. It is a REAL how-to cookbook for beginners, or even for old pros to brush up!
I was so excited when Mom got me this for Christmas the year I got married. I have used it a million times and have learnt a lot. This is a GREAT wedding shower gift. The basic Betty Crocker Cookbook with the red cover has a lot of basics in it too, but the wedding edition has even more.
