Here is a great soft cover cookbook from Betty Crocker titled.. Betty Crocker's New Cookbook: Everything You Need to Know to Cook. Perfect for the kid moving away from home for the first or second time and still doesn't have a clue about cooking. (Who knows?! They could cook for YOU!)
This soft cover cookbook is in very lightly used condition with just a little wear to the covers from use and re-shelving--back cover, top edge has a little nick. INSIDE the pages are at least 98% free of any marks, stains or writing. A couple of pages have a dog-eared corner at the bottom of the page from a hasty re-shelving.
This latest edition of the classic kitchen reference is not the OED of cookbooks. It's more like a Webster's 10th: it won't tell you everything, but it will tell you what you most likely need to know. It's dense with advice about selection, preparation and presentation of food.
And it's clear enough not to intimidate kitchen newcomers. The 900-plus recipes-not very different from past editions-are not particularly demanding, and few require elaborate equipment or ingredients. New are illustrations and photos and the addition of reduced-calorie suggestions.
To be valued less for individual recipes than for its function as a kitchen tool, this volume is packed with well-organized information. Each chapter covers a particular course or food group, e.g., desserts, cheese dishes, poultry, etc. Nutritional breakdowns are given for each dish, along with preparation and cooking times. Cooking techniques and tips are covered in the front section, while the back section gets into more elaborate information like planning menus and food storage. Not a gourmet cookbook, this is basic training: indispensable for novices and a great safety net for experienced cooks who habitually roast, fry and saute by the seat of their pants.
