Home and Gardens cookbook?
My mom was a Betty Crocker advocate. I was trained using the Gislen text.
Not too long ago I was browsing through my Betty Crocker cookbook (a wedding present from my mother), and I noticed that the Betty Crocker recipes were more of what we used to call Farm Cooking, after mom’s style of meat, starch, overcooked vegetables, and a dessert which sometimes was lime gelatin with shredded cabbage...
Very 50s and 60s
We didn’t have the burnt orange fondue pot though, ours was an avocado green to match the kitchen appliances...
Hahahahahahaha! When we purchased our house some years back, it was an old standard slab ranch circa 1963 with nasty red shag carpet, and a turquoise oven and range...we only got rid of them a few years ago...:) Of course, the shag carpet went first!
Ah, the fabled Betty Crocker Codex.
