Amazon.com Review:
The brand name Betty Crocker conjures images of straightforward, time-tested recipes that even novices can follow. Betty Crocker's Good and Easy Cookbook keeps to this tradition, offering uncomplicated recipes with clear instructions and color photos. The sheer simplicity of the recipes--350 of them with prep times between 2 and 20 minutes--makes the book a busy cook's dream. Even experienced cooks looking for new ideas for interesting meals to whip up will find plenty to keep them happy--and well fed--here. Traditional favorites like Tuna-Macaroni Casserole and Honey Mustard Ham mingle with such exotic dishes as Sichuan Cashew Chicken, Easy Picadillo, and Wild Rice and Broccoli Timbales. The book abounds in tips on substitutions, cooking times, and recipe shortcuts. Special bonuses include such numerous special features as a 'Do-Ahead' section, which features meals that can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer to be popped into the oven anytime, and a chapter called 'Super Express Cooking,' in which most recipes have prep times of five minutes or less. No matter how busy you are, or what your experience level in the kitchen, Betty Crocker's Good and Easy Cookbook will have you cooking delicious meals in no time. --Robin Donovan

Rating:  - Not the Betty Crocker of days gone by!
I learned to cook and bake following the recipes from Betty Crocker's Cookbook from 1950, so I have always expected good things from a Betty Crocker cookbook. This one however, severely disappionts. Lots of the recipes seem to keep repeating each other just by changing a pasta type for example. All the recipes that I looked at seemed to call for expensive preprepped convenience items from the store. Most of which I would never keep routinely in the house. Most of the recipes I couldn't get my hubby ... Read More
Rating: - Perfect for people starting to eat right
I quit cooking good meals many years ago and existed on food that was delivered, frozen, drive thru, snack and cereal. Needless to say my weight and health went to pot. I began cooking about a year ago and have found this book to be a great help. The recipes are varied, have pictures and easy instructions and calorie, fat (including sat fat), cholesterol, sodium, carb, fiber and protein breakdown. They are well organized by groups and on the whole are good though not gourmet. That's OK with me as I ... Read More
Rating:  - My favorite cookbook
This is the single best cookbook in my collection. The recipes are not only fast and easy, they generally call for ingredients that I keep on the shelf. Perfect for those nights when I just don't know what to fix.
Rating: - Great for Beginners!
I can't tell you how many times I have used these recipes!
This was one of the first cookbooks I got when I was married five years ago and my husband and I really didn't know how to cook. It is a great cookbook for beginners, but really for anyone who wants a quick, tasty, healthy meal on the table very quickly.
Most recipes have very simple instructions, require few ingredients or equpiment, and are extremely user friendly. Plus, there is quite a bit of variety and plenty of ... Read More
Rating: - TERRIFIC FOR BOTH BEGINNERS AND ACCOMPLISHED COOKS
If there is any cookbook that will inspire a new cook AND a husband to get in the kitchen and prepare a meal for the family this is the cookbook that will do it.
I bought this book for my soon-to-be-married sister-in-law as part of her shower gift. She is a beginning cook with little time on her hands. I wanted to get her a cookbook that I knew she would use instead of letting sit and get dusty on the shelf (or sold in a garage sale for that matter). This is the perfect book for her. The recipes ... Read More
