Customer Reviews

A Good One!
The heart health edition of this cookbook is a fantastic edition to the Betty Crocker Family of cookbooks. In a special 32 page section at the front of the book it details various facts regarding heart health geared primarily towards women. With tips about fat, salt, fiber, etc, this section applies to really anyone and also pinpoints specific recipes in the main cookbook that are heart healthy.

The many recipes in the cookbook aren't just vegetarian or ones that are going to be bland. There are recipes for Meats, Soups, Casseroles, Desserts and just about anything else in this nearly six hundred page cookbook. Pictures are often small but colorful and there are plenty of drawings and charts to assist you in the kitchen.

Beyond the tremendous number of recipes that are quick and fast or long and slow as well as everything in between, there is a really helpful index. 34 pages in length the index tags certain recipes as "low-fat" or "fast" etc. so the cook in a hurry can find what he or she is looking for. Spiral bound inside a bright red hardback cover that makes the book lay flat right where you want it, the book is a great addition to your kitchen.

Great recipes
My daughter loves her new cookbook. She is enjoying crockpot and low calorie recipes. She also loves the pictures and easy to following instructions. This cookbook is a winner!

A disappointment
I wanted so much to get this cookbook as I've been a Betty Crocker Cookbook fan for many years. This is supposed to be a "heart health edition" but many of the recipes are anything but. Except for a section in the beginning of the book where heart health is discussed, there is almost no mention of heart health within the book regarding the actual recipes. For example, having a recipe for pie crust that uses shortening and butter is not heart healthy. Many recipes are high in calories as well.
Another cookbook which I selected because of its heart health content looks a lot better. It's called WomenHeart's ALL HEART Family Cookbook. This one really is serious about promoting heart health and I'm looking forward to trying many of their recipes. I'll be returning Betty Crocker.
