Betty Crocker's Fast & Flavorful: 100 Main Dishes You Can Make in 20 Minutes or Less (Betty Crocker Home Library)

Rating:
Summary: A culinary joke
Review: I got this cookbook free in a under-cabinet radio/CD player. No wonder it was free and in the box; there is no other way to sell it. The recipes are disgusting (i. e. zucchini pancakes, pumpkin waffles) and there are not very many pictures. Also, they call pork chops chicken-fried pork. This is for a family who has never cooked. If you want a good cookbook, I recommend Betty Crocker's Cook Book or Better Homes and Garden's New Cook Book. Do not buy this cook book!!!

Summary: This cookbook lives up to its name
Review: Like the previous reviewer from Illinois, I too received this cookbook packed along with my under-the-counter radio/CD player, but I'm going to buy additional copies to give as bridal shower gifts. I've been cooking for 30 years, and there's nothing wrong with these recipes. I've used nearly a dozen different menus, and my husband and I have loved them. They truly are ready in 20 minutes or less, use a variety of easy-to-stock ingredients, and taste great. So pumpkin waffles don't appeal to you--bypass that recipe and enjoy the others. This is one book you'll reach for often.
