Summary: Fantastic reasource for baking
Review: Having grown up cooking with Betty Crocker I could not resist this book. This book has a wonderful and vast selection of good recipes. One thing I love about Betty Crocker is they kitchen test all recipes throughly. So you can feel comfortable about the recipes as they are written. I love to experiement, but like you, I hate feeling left in the dark when it comes to new recipes and their preparation. I would definately urge you to pick up this recipe if you want excellent baking recipes. They range from breads, sweets, cookies, cakes, and more. You will soon be cooking up all sorts of tasty treats for your loved ones.

Summary: Betty Crocker continues its tradition of excellence.
Review: I got this book a few months ago as a gift, and it has already become a standby. I'm becoming a Betty Crocker zealot, mainly because I've never found as reliable a series of books. I have my mother's old beaten-up old Betty Crocker Cookbook, my own updated version, Betty Crocker's New Cookbook, and now this one. The new book has already yielded up a new household favorite recipe for meatloaf and blueberry muffins, and is a favorite for curling up and dreaming of recipes still to bake. The thing I like most about these books is that they are totally reliable. I never have anything less than success if I follow their instructions correctly. They are forgiving, and they appear to have been tested against the most inept of cooks. I'm a pretty good cook, but we all have our off days, and it's nice to know that I can open a book, find a recipe, follow it, and produce something that looks just like the picture, and tastes as good as it looks. Buy this book, and try the banana blueberry muffins and favorite meat loaf. I couldn't wish you anything better.

Summary: Excellent For Experienced And Beginning Cooks
Review: I have several cookbooks and enjoy the challenge of intricate gourmet recipes. But for everyday baking, I find myself turning to Betty Crocker's Best Baking more than any other cookbook on my shelves. These recipes are reliable and beautifully presented. Even for the experienced cook, the baking tips at the beginning of several of the chapters are extremely helpful. If I had to give up all but one of my cookbooks, this would be the one I would choose to keep.

Summary: Betty Crocker continues its tradition of excellence.
Review: If you enjoy the Betty Crocker series of cookbooks, this is right in there with the best. Highly doable home-cooking, with elegance and imagination. I enjoy the photos. I somewhat wish there were more main-dish recipes, as the ones presented are in one slim chapter. Also, this is a very hefty book and doesn't open as flat as the spiral bound hardcovers in some of the other Betty Crocker volumes. However, it's still a handsomely presented book, and would make an excellent gift.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is simple and it is a great cookbook.
Review: It has great recipes that are simple to prepare and what I have made out of this cookbook tastes great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 100 % delicious
Review: Once again Betty Crocker didn't let me down. I bought this book last year and I use it all the time. It has great recipes, well explained and some of them have pictures also.
In this book you will find tutorials as well. I've done lots of recipes and all of them turned out great and had friends and a boyfriend asking for more. The book has seven chapters:

All about baking (cooking terms, ingredients glossary, how to's and mesuring ingredients)
Breads (yeast, quick and bread machine)

Cookies
Main and side dishes
Desserts
Baking with kids
Holidays

Highlights:
Cinnamon-Raisin bread
Potato Refrigerator dough
Pesto biscuits
Muffins (all of them!!)
Zucchini bread
Cheesy breadsticks (easy and quick)
Ultimate chocolate chip cookie
Snickerdoodles
Brownies
...I could go on forever
hope you enjoy it as much as I did
