A captivating collection that celebrates the wonderful recipes from the Betty Crocker archives in a package that appeals to the modern cook​

Betty Crocker Lost Recipes is the ultimate treasure for the most devoted Betty Crocker fans, as well as cooks who are interested in recipes with a retro/nostalgic twist. Eighty percent of the book includes tried-and-true recipes that simply aren’t in today’s cooking repertoire—mainly from-scratch recipes that are hard to find. Twenty percent is a fun look back at some of the cooking customs of the past that may not be worth repeating, but are worth remembering. Features include ideas like “How to Throw a Hawaiian Tiki Party,” and the robust introductory pages contain interesting stories, anecdotes, and artwork from Betty Crocker’s history. Recipes are carefully curated to ensure that they are still relevant, achievable, and made with available ingredients—think Beef Stroganoff, Chicken à la King, Waldorf Salad, and Chiffon Cake. These lost recipes are ready to grace the tables of a whole new generation of cooks.

Blast from the past! Great old school recipes (Swiss steak, stuffed peppers, chicken divan) and pages with nostalgic excerpts from previous editions in the 50s and 60s. Themed party ideas. This was well worth the money, great gift for those who like to cook or entertain.

Lost recipes that have been updated I was so disappointed when I read the introduction and they said they had modified the recipes for today’s cooks. The whole point of looking at recipes from the past is to see how food was made back then. The problem I find with the new Betty Crocker cookbooks is that they use too many prepackaged ingredients such as ranch dressing mix instead of the actual individual components. If you want to find lost recipes, try thrift stores, used book stores, and estate sales.
