Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book: Pink Plaid

A lot of good recipes

I'd purchased this book several years ago at TJMaxx. My aunt borrowed it several times. For her 50th anniversary, it was the only thing I could think to buy her that she didn't have.I like the pictures that come with thr easy to follow recipes.

Mainly got this cook book because of my mother in law. She uses the giblet gravy recipe for thanksgiving and it is very delicious. I ended up book marking so many other recipes.

This is the 3rd or 4th edition of this cookbook that I have had. The print is bigger, the book is easy to use and the pictures showing how to make the food and what is should look like when finished are very helpful for a new cook. The recipes are easy to follow and there are many charts on different types of meat cooking as well as meat charts. If you only have one cook book this is the best. I also gave one as a gift besides the new one for me.

For more than 44 years, my standby cookbook has been the Red Checkered Better Homes cookbook that I received as a new bride in 1963. I had put a cover on the outside to keep the binding from tearing apart any further. The edges of the pages were dirty and frayed, and I had put reinforments on some of the holes of the pages. Nevertheless, this was my faithful kitchen companion.Today, I received this new Pink Plaid revised edition. It does not disappoint me. While it's true that some recipes have been altered, or even omitted altogether, the new, updated information it contains more than makes up for the changes some people might be unwilling to accept. For instance, the nutritional values at the end of each recipe is invaluable. This is important whether one is dieting for weight loss, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart health, or just interested in eating healthy. My old book doesnt contain this information.I have officially retired the old book, but if, along the way, I find that I need some some old favorite, I'll simply take that page out of the old binder and insert it into the appropriate place in the new one.Get this book. You won't be sorry.

Love this version of this cookbook, I have the red version also, use both

I saw the book at my daughter's house and liked a lot of the recipes. I also liked some of the cooking information, especially the photos of food and herbs they were helpful identifying items at the grocery store. I have made some of the recipes already; they were very easy and tasty. The problem I have is that I thought I was buying a new book, but when I first looked at the book I found a sticky note from a previous owner on substitutions on a recipe. Also some of the pages were ripped out of the binder. I taped them back in but I was disappointed that it was misrepresented as a new book.

Cooking with online receipts is a disaster. I found i couldn't find the same receipt again or I had a bunch of loose papers I had printed out. I decided to go back to the old school way where you open a book and find something that inspires you. The pictures are outstanding and the binding so comfortable to use in the kitchen. This book has brought back the art of cooking in my home.

great recipe book. I really like it in this ring format

This book is presented as if it is a breast cancer cookbook and it isn't, it is just the standard Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook with a pink ribbon on the cover, had it sent from USA extremely dissappointed.

Had already a lot of very good receipes tried. I like the single page system, that you can take out only one receipe and put it back in. Very good organisation in the table of contents. Worth to have.

I received a similar cookbook over 50 years ago. Lots of good information and recipes. Mine is a hard cover binder with five metal rings. One can open the rings and remove a sheet if they choose, the book lays perfectly flat and the pages turn with ease. Content still seems great, still is a nice book, but I wish the standard of yesterday had been maintained. A good overall cookbook.
