My husband bought me the 14th limited edition Better Homes and Gardens book... and I've had alot of recipes not taste great. I have to alter them alot and then they're okay (FYI- I cook great, it's not me, its the recipes). Also I've found alot of errors with the index and page numbers. I was just wondering if Betty Crocker makes a better cookbook and if there's a better variety. I know the BHG is huge, but it really doesn't seem like there's a lot of desserts or cookies, and I LOVE cooking.Let me know what you think, and if you can recommend a specific book that would be great too!
Betty Crocker, it's so comprehensive. Everything from defining herbs and spices to kitchen utensils, cooking/cutting methods, safe temps for all foods, recipes...what a masterpiece.
Some of the recipes are more difficult on the food network site, but each recipe has a difficulty rating so you can bypass those you know you don't want to tackle. When I make something, I want it to be flavorful and people going back for seconds.
