I have my mother’s old, stained hard-cover, notebook-type Betty Crocker cookbook I believe from the late 50s - with her hand-written side notes, etc.
Still make the pumpkin chiffon pie for Thanksgiving (family just requested it) - and the blue cheese salad dressing my father loved.
Still holds up after all these years. My daughter is into “new-wave” cooking with odd ingredients and trendy flavors. I (and the rest of my family) find most of it inedible...
There’s a reason people still have those old Betty Crocker cookbooks....and still use them.
I also have a Betty Crocker three ring binder cookbook from 1964…. still holding up. I have a much more recent paperback which is falling apart. Lots of different methods. The early one, for example, makes cookies by hand and the later one uses a mixer.
