Early Book Review: Betty Crocker Found Recipes: Beloved Vintage Recipes Worth Sharing by Betty Crocker

Betty Crocker Found Recipes: Beloved Vintage Recipes Worth Sharing by Betty Crocker is currently scheduled for release on November 26 2024. Over the last century, Betty Crocker has created thousands of well-tested recipes, some especially that spark fond memories today. Here you can find these rediscovered vintage but timeless favorites. Some of these rare recipes were most frequently requested by lifelong Betty Crocker fans, which you'll see by the Found Recipes icon throughout the book. Others are ones that rose to the top of the Betty Crocker Test Kitchens recipe boxes over the years. And, during the search for favorite recipes to be included in this book, Betty Crocker fans shared stories of favorite recipes they’ve lost and couldn’t find—so the Betty Crocker Kitchens recreated them for the Recreated Lost Recipes Features, along with the fans’ heartwarming memories behind them.

Like any cookbook, Betty Crocker Found Recipes, there are some recipes that are ones that I am eager to try my hand at and others that just hold no appeal to me. It was interesting to see the way the face of Betty Crocker has changed over the years, and how tastes and styles of cooking have changed as well. I will still never understand the love of cheese balls and mayonnaise based salads, but some of the nostalgic recipes included really did stand the test of time and are classics. It was good to see some recipes found or recreated and I found the letters and stories that surround some of the recipes interesting. I think this is a great cookbook for those that might have missed out on or lost the original cookbooks- and for those interested in the history.
