The New York Times Book Book by Craig Claiborne, copyright 1961.  I purchased it new in 1970. I still have it and treasure it..

My Mom was a phenomenal cook.  So before i got married I got myself a blank notebook.  I would ask for her recipes and write everything down.  30 years later I still have that notebook... although it is really beat up.

Hey you, me too!!!  I haven't used it in ages, but I still have it and it helped me thru quite a few challenges.

ebay has first edition for sale for $139.99.  (I have first edition, second printing, well worn book but in tact.)

I still use this cookbook on occasion.  I also collect cookbooks and have between 50 and 75 of them (at least).

I knew how to cook when I got married but I wanted more selections and ideas to go with, so I got the Betty Crocker cookbook. It's the big orange one. I still have it and still use some of the recipes to this day. That was back in 1972.

Betty Crocker.

I still love Betty Crocker

In case someone doesn't know, Betty is online with A LOT of recipes and hints.  And you can subscribe for daily recipes by email and special collections like Christmas cookies during the holidays.

Betty Crocker Cookbook, 7th printing, 1971.  I still have my copy with its torn binding.  Page 55 with the blueberry buckle coffee cake has the most stains on the page, plus notes.

I kept the cookbook but didn't keep the husband.

"A Treasury of Great Recipes" by Vincent and Mary Price..I memorized it

[homedecor1]

my mother gave me her Betty Crocker cookbook (red check front) and I still go that site or cookbook! I have my own BC (1973) got as a gift which I've used tons especially the cake/cookie section!

I got married in 1968 and my sister gave me two cookbooks (acceptable wedding presents in those days of little excess) which I use to this day:

Betty Crocker;

Better Homes and Gardens.

I would be lost without them - most recipes have "normal" ingredients and not the latest greatest spices or exotic ones that mean you have to ,make a trip to the store.
