I used to collect them but since I hardly ever cook anything from a cook book it was just waste of money and space. I dont have any betty crocker books but I have lots of others.

hello violeta_va

and i enjoy cooking a new recipe from one of my cookbooks. i have several Betty Crocker cookbooks. but i guess that i have over seventy cookbooks in my collection of them.

thanks for responding and have a great afternoon.

I have 53 cookbooks that I have in my collection. I have one of the first Betty Crocker cook books ever put into print. It's been handed down to me...Lori

hello dumblnddzzy

wow, i have a few more than you do, i think that the last time that i counted my cookbooks, i had seventy or over. and that is awesome about the Betty Crocker cookbook that you have. i do not have a rare one like that one is.

thanks for responding and have a great afternoon.

Betty crocker cookbooks, What are these things my dear? I didn't ever heard about these crispy things. I think its just a recipe books for how to make chicken and all these interesting and delicious food. Is it so!!!


myLot reputation of 93/100. RLFinNash (5720)  4 years ago

hello mnsrwt

and yes, that is exactly what a cookbook is, a book filled with information telling you how to prepare a certain or certain meals. do you not have any cookbooks at home?

thanks for responding and have a great afternoon.

I have a betty crocker cookbook. Not sure how old it is but the cover looks like a red and white checkered table cloth. I have many cookbooks but hardly ever use them and really not a collector of them so not sure why I have so many. Some were my mother's so I will not get rid of those for sure.


myLot reputation of 93/100. RLFinNash (5720)  4 years ago

hello tyc

and i hear ya, hang on to all of the cookbooks that you have. never know. i have a bunch of cookbooks, alot of them that i would pick up at a yard sale in good condition. i enjoy fixing a new recipe from one of my cookbooks.

thanks for responding and have a great afternoon.

I do have a Betty Crocker cookbook that my mother bought for me when we were first married. She knew I had no talent in that department and I guess felt sorry for my husband. Rarely do I use it as my mother was a very good cook and she gave me a few of her recipes to follow. I do have recipe cards I can refer back to in case I forgot the measurements on certain recipes. I can't taste any longer so it's difficult for me to judge amounts by taste only. By the way, that recipe book will be 39 years old in June.


myLot reputation of 93/100. RLFinNash (5720)  4 years ago

hello carolbee

wow! you hang on to that Betty Crocker cookbook that you have and pass it on down to one of your daughters and then maybe they'll even pass it on down to one of their children and so on. and i bet it is in perfect condition. and that is funny about your Mom feeling sorry for your hubby when you-all were first married. haha

thanks for responding and have a great afternoon.

I used to belong to a cooking club, and I got a couple of Betty Crocker cookbooks. I use the main one so much that it is falling apart. I was thinking of getting a new one, since I use it for my main recipes, but where can I put it? I also have a collect of the Company's Coming cookbooks and the first ones I got are falling apart, an old collection of the Women's Days cookbooks that goes from A to Z, and has all sorts of recipes featuring each product or a certain country. I really was in cooking at a big time. I still am.
I had most since I was in my twenties and before I got married.


myLot reputation of 93/100. RLFinNash (5720)  4 years ago

hello suspenseful

whoo hoo!, on the cooking club. never heard of a cooking club like that before. what did it involve? and your cookbook collection sounds awesome. i have alot of cookbooks in my collection as well. i enjoy cooking a new recipe out of one of my cookbooks.

thanks for responding and have a great afternoon.

I used to have cookbooks, and they got ruined or lost in moves, and needless to say I don't buy many cookbooks anymore we have a couple of them, and use them often to check things, but if I need a recipe I just turn to the net for it, and I am going to hopefully this pay period French onion soup mac and cheese ....it looked so good.

I sometimes wish I could go to chef school and learn more about savory, sauces, how to cook and do things, and be more innovative.....

But there is no way I can afford it.

Mooch


myLot reputation of 93/100. RLFinNash (5720)  4 years ago

hello mooch

and let us all know here how your french onion soup and macaroni and cheese recipe turns out. sounds delicious. and i hear ya about surfing the internet for a good recipe, but that is just not the same as having a cookbook. i love to log onto Foodnetwork's website and surf the recipes. do you have a recipe box on their site? i do. haha

and sauces are a snap, what kind of sauces do you need help with?

thanks for responding and have a great afternoon.

I don't cook so I don't have any cookbooks, however I did get a Jamie Oliver cookbook for a Christmas present a couple of years back, only because I like him, not the fact that I could do any of the recipes inside LOL. I think I gave it to my mum, mum used to have loads of cookbooks but she threw a lot of them out. Took up room and she didn't use or need them any more.


myLot reputation of 93/100. RLFinNash (5720)  4 years ago

hello wolfie

lol. shame on ya. want me to mail you a cookbook? alright on the Jamie Oliver cookbook. wish i had that one in my collection of cookbooks. i have over seventy cookbooks in my collection now. whoo hoo! and i have scanned over all of them in time. and give one of the recipes in the cookbook a shot, that is what the cookbook is for. read the recipe first, then follow the recipe and it will turn out exactly like it should. and it is a shame that your mum threw away all of her cookbooks, wish that she would have thorwn them all my way!

thanks for responding and have a great afternoon.

YES>.. I collect cookbooks... actually have a whole shelf just of cookbooks!!!...

I just can't believe the difference in the OLD red Betty crocker books and the new ones...


it is so unreal... and the recipes in the old are so much better!


myLot reputation of 93/100. RLFinNash (5720)  4 years ago

hello kkkbsmom

i hear ya about the cookbooks, i have a double shelf of cookbooks. lol. i love all of them as well. and i totally agree with you about the older recipes in the cookbooks. what is your favorite cookbook that you have? i have a signed copy of "There's A Chef In My Family", by Emeril LaGassee. i got to see him in person at a book store where he was there signing his books one day.

thanks for responding and have a great afternoon.

I have a friend who is not on mylot she does, but I never really collected cookbooks, and now that there is internet recipes I just use them when I want a new recipe which is really rare.


myLot reputation of 93/100. RLFinNash (5720)  4 years ago

hello winterose

lol. do you not cook alot? or all of the time and fix the same things again and again. when i get tired of fixing things over and over again, i will dig out one of my cookbooks and try something new and hope for the best. have you ever been to Foodnetwork's website? that is a great site for recipes.

thanks for responding and have a great afternoon.


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (18785)  4 years ago

no not much anymore, i make my own food and my son makes his we don't even like the same kinds of food.
