About this title

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
