Summary: more than 10 years later and still in heavy use!!!
Review: I bouth this one when I first moved out of the house, and my Mom confiscated her 1962 edition. Of all the cookbooks I have bought since then, this one gets used at least weekly!!! AT one point I wanted my bookshelf to look "cooler" so I bought Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything." Betty Crocker still wins hands down in quality and variety of recipes (not to mention his book fell apart after a few uses.
Buy this edition or any of the newer editions that followed, and you will never go wrong! And as corny as it sounds, the notebook style is a great idea, I have stuffed mine full of all kinds of recipes, it is like the book that continues to grow with me.

Summary: The "standard" in my collection
Review: This was my very first cookbook, and I've never found its equal. The recepies may not be as flash as some of the newer, trendier chef cookbooks, but this one has everything you need to begin cooking for yourself, right through to medium level recepies. From explanations of what "julienne" and "caramelize" mean, to what spices work with what foods, to how to organize a buffet table, to how to eat a balanced meal. Recepies for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snacks, drinks, appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, etc. And best of all, how to cook most any food without any preperation, spices, herbs, or fuss! Want to have a plain meal of steak, beans and potatoes? This book will tell you how. Want to have a plate of the best beef stroganoff you'll ever taste? It's in there as well. A must have for every kitchen, I use it almost daily.
