My mother had one, I hot one and I will likely get one for my daughter. Basics are essential!

This was my very first cook book as a young bride back in the sixties. I still have it and it's the best. Someday I will hand it down to my daughter, but not yet.

This is a classic cookbook. Everyone should have one!

Classic cookbook, it has everything you need.

My mother bought this cook book for me and it's the best. I use it for so many great recipes.

This is one of the first cookbooks I ever bought and it is still the most used. I love that it has meals for every occasion and easy to follow. The recipes are great and it has all the useful information you need to cook if you are not a pro. This is a book that is a must have for every kitchen.

Love it , easy to use. Every cook needs this in their collection

I think everyone could use this cookbook! I have a ton of cookbooks in my home, but every time I look for a recipe, I always find myself back at this cookbook! It has so many recipes and many are simple and easy to follow!

I received this cook book as a gift. I am NOT a good cook, but at least I know enough of the basics I can make a variety of edible meals for my family. Almost everything I've learned about cooking has been in this book! This is not an exaggeration and my family would attest to everything I've said here. The instructions are easy to follow and the recipes are simple enough to avoid being overwhelming. I am already using this book to learn along with my teen daughter. I'll have to buy one for her when she leaves the house because she can't have mine!

If there was only one cookbook in the world, we would all be fine with this one. It has a little of everything. All your basic foods, and ideas to doctor them up.

I am a new cook and my Mama bought me this for Christmas and I have to say It has taught me alot I am still learning but this is a great cookbook for the up and coming home chef.

This cookbook is classic great to have on hand I'd love to read all the recipes and try to mix them by myself

I think this is an iconic cookbook that everyone needs in their kitchen. We have been enjoying these recipes in our family since I was a little girl.

I enjoy my Better Homes and gardens cookbooks, I have had three of them over the years and still refer to it when I cook.

When I was little I would get recipes out of this book on making cookies and random things that sounded good! I need to find another one for me since the one i used was my moms. Oh brings back memories.
