Summary: A Wonderful Cook Book For Kids!!
Comment: My Great-Aunt Pauline gave me this book way back in the 1960's and I still have the book. I still use the book every once in awhile to get a new recipe, but mostly I look at it to bring back memories of when me and my brother used to fight over what new recipe we were gonna try next. My 2 sons, aged 14 & 21 think that the pictures are goofy. My 21 yr. old has cooked a few recipes from the book, he loves to cook and is going to Culinary Arts school. (I think this cookbook helped him to decide to be a chef.) I still love the book. It is the most treasured book that I have! It is by far the best cookbook you could get for a child..

Summary: Yay! It's back!
Comment: I have a dilapidated copy of this book that a friend bought for me. I really enjoy it for the copy, illustrations, and the garish color inserts. But most of all, the recipes are fun, quick, easy, and generally delicious. My kids and I enjoy them and my husband begs me to make the drop biscuits about once a week.
Of course, some of the copy is hokey, some of the illustrations are corny, and some of the recipe names are goofy, something that some people might take offense to now. However, it would be a mistake to not own this cookbook because of a line drawing and text that appear on one quarter of a page. One hopes that a person who purchases a retro cookbook reproduction can understand that times have changed, and our ideas about racism, as well as nutrition, have evolved since the original publication date.

Summary: Not An Authentic Reproduction
Comment: I have several copies of the original Betty Crocker's Cookbook for Boys and Girls and have found deletions of some of the old recipes in the new reproduction. There is no Easy Orange Cake and Clear Orange Sauce in the new. I noted several other changes too! On p.62 in the old is the recipe for Chocolate Fudge Milk Shake and in the new is Cake and Frosting Mix.
I was very excited about hearing that they were going to reprint this recipe book as my original copy was completely falling apart. I had bought several on an auction site to hand down to my kids that were not in good shape. I was going to buy the new one until I went through it and found that it is a revised reproduction and not a genuine reproduction. I would have liked them to have revised it by giving the exact old recipes and writing what changes were to be made if items were no longer available.
