Summary

Better Homes & Gardens celebrates its 100th anniversary with this expanded edition of the "red plaid" cookbook, a trusted staple in kitchens across America since 1930. All-new chapters look back at the history of Better Homes & Gardens, including a "Behind the Kitchen Door" feature about America's first test kitchen, and a "Then & Now" section comparing original classics to updated recipes influenced by flavor and current food trends. With more than 1,000 recipes and a photo for each one, the book covers traditional dishes such as Brownies and new favorites like Cold Brew Coffee. This edition maintains fresh organization to reflect how we cook today: recipes have flavor variations, options to swap out ingredients, and ways to make dishes healthier. Clear directions and how-to photos teach techniques; identification photos clarify the broad range of today's ingredients; charts for meat and poultry give at-a-glance cooking times; and "cheat sheets" throughout present information in easy-to-access bites. Perfect for today's kitchens, the book is a handy, lay-flat hardcover.
