Great cookbook for keeping family recipes
We had received a great blank/write-in cookbook for as a wedding present about 6 years ago and we use it all the time. Our families organized an effort to collect recipes from all of our extended family members, and write them in this cookbook to give to us to carry on through the next generation. It was used in our house almost weekly. We began to use it for all our recipes too. Before you know there are 100 pages of gold in that book. Then in November the plastic spine started to crack away and become brittle.

You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a write-in cookbook. I went to Borders, Barnes & Noble, Wal-Mart, Target, Meijer, and just about every other book/bix box retail store in the Central Indiana market. Nothing. Either we hoosiers don't like to cook or this just isn't something people do. Well for those of you who do, I am telling you to buy this cookbook. I should've come to Amazon first. I learned my lesson and will from now on. We received in good time for Christmas and have replaced our original. The spine is metal, not plastic, so it probably won't break. The pages are good quality thickness and have plenty of room for each recipe. The organization of the book is good too. Now I don't have to flip though 100+ recipes to find my Dad's famous Egg Nog, my Mom's Chinese Red Pork, or my cousin's famous Seattle Seagull (don't ask - not really seagull).

I highly recommend this for anyone who likes to cook, and wants to keep their recipes in the family for generations to come.

too much copywork
I am returning this book. I wanted one that recipes could be inserted into; guess I misunderstood what this book offers. It just has pages to copy recipes onto.

GREAT basic cookbook
This book helped me learn American cooking and beginner's baking. The recipes work as is, but I sometimes like to add a little zing or twist to the food. With or without the tweaking, the basic recipes work and that's what counts for a beginning cook--SUCCESS! I bought a copy for my sister, and believe she will meet with as much success as I have. The tabbed sections are easy to go through, and the tab titles are easy to understand. The pages have withstood handling and my moving the open book from counter to counter as I cook. The tips that start each section are helpful and have sent me on some hours of blissful research as I dig deeper into the published tip. I like the photos (and wish there were more), however the book does break down some of the cooking concepts using the photos --making pie pastry for one. I have since acquired a cabinetful of cookbooks, but I keep going back to this one. You will not regret this purchase.

Cookbook is not like the old one.
I thought I could replace my old shredded cookbook with this one and they would be the same. NOT this is a new edition. If you want the same edition as your old one you need to go to a used bookstore or search for it on line.

Great Purchase
The book was reasonably priced. It was delivered very promptly. Though listed as "like new", it was hard to tell that it wasn't "new". We are pleased with the transaction, price and prompt delivery.

Not in the condition described
I gave this to my sister as a gift. I honestly didn't even realize that it wasn't new until after I had submitted my order. However, the seller had good reviews and stated it was in "like-new" condition. Well, it wasn't and I am embarrassed that I gave a run-down recipe organizer to some one as a birthday present.

Great Recipe Keeper!
For Christmas this year, my daughter requested a book with all my recipes. I looked and looked for a good one. I finally decided on this one and it is a great choice. There are several ways to organize your recipes. You can write them in, clip them out and put them in the "magnetic" photo-type pages or in pockets. I did each of these things and added some page protectors (it's a ring binder, so it's easy to do that) so I could print some recipes out on the computer and just slip them in. I also added family photos to some of the pages. I cried while making it and she cried looking over it! A great product for a very personalized gift.

Perfect
I really found this keeper perfect. I bought it for my mom for the holidays and was a little apprehencive about buying it online without getting to see the insides, but have no worries. There are seperate sections for breads, deserts, dinners, etc... as well as adhesive pages. I couldnt be happier. They put the phone number for refils right in the book, too, so theres no hastle when it comes time to refill. I strongly recommend this product.

where can I find a replacement 5 ring binder for BHG cookbook?

Feb 08, 2009 by sandwicz | Posted in Cooking & Recipes

Our Better Homes & Garden cookbook binder fell apart & I'm having a hard time finding a replacement.
thanks.

It's doubtful that you'll find an empty BHG binder. You should be able to find the right size binder at Staples, Office Max, or any place like that.

Need recipe from Betty Crocker's 1977 red ring binder cookbook?

Oct 31, 2007 by trixie77 | Posted in Cooking & Recipes

If anyone has this book I'm looking for a cookie recipe for plain cut out cookies where you roll the dough. It must be from this cookbook. No others please. Thank you
not where you roll up the dough and slice them but roll out the dough with a rolling pin and use cookie cutters.
The cookbook is red with a circle cut in pie shapes on the front is the one I need.

SUGAR COOKIE CUTOUTS

2/3 c butter, softened
3/4 c granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1 T milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
1 recipe Powdered Sugar Icing

In large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg, milk, and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with mixer. Stir in any remaining flour. Divide dough in half. If necessary, cover and chill dough 30 minutes or until easy to handle. On lightly floured surface, roll half the dough at a time until 1/8 inch thick. Using a 2 1/2" cookie cuter, cut dough into desired shapes. Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in 375º oven for 7-8 minutes or until edges are firm and bottoms are very lightly browned. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. If desired, frost with Powdered Sugar Icing.

Sorry!!! I thought red and white checked and gave you the recipe from my Better Homes and Gardens book!! HERE's the one from my Betty Crocker book:

TRADITIONAL SUGAR COOKIES

3/4 c shortening (part butter or margarine, softened)
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla or 1/2 tsp lemon extract
2 1/2 c Gold Medal Flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

Mix thoroughly shortening, sugar, eggs and flavoring. Blend in flour, baking powder and salt. Cover; chill at least 1 hour. Heat oven to 400º. Roll dough 1/8 inch thick on lightly floured cloth-covered board. Cut into desired shapes. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until very light brown. About 4 dozen 3" cookies. Do not use self-rising flour in this recipe.

(There is another recipe in the same book called Deluxe Sugar cookies - also rolled out)

Looking for an empty binder to put my own recipes in. I want something pretty that looks like a cookbook.?

I have tried a lot of different systems, but here's the one that works for me.

A full size 3 ring binder
100 Clear Protector Pages, top insert
Plain white (or colored) paper
Lined paper
Dividers

Any time I find an online recipe that I am interested in, I print it on full size paper. Since your notebook is already "pre-made", just slip the recipe into one of the clear protector pages and file in the appropriate section. The next recipe can be slipped in the same protector so that you have a recipe on front and back.

If it is a recipe you need to copy down, grab your lined paper, copy it, and insert it where applicable.

If you clip the recipe, it may be mis-sized. You can control this by first slipping a plain white paper in the protector sheet. Slip the clipped recipe on top of the white paper. Next time you clip another recipe from the same category, you can tape/glue it to the same page.

When cooking, you can simply take the plastic protector sheet with your recipe out, and when finished, insert it back into the binder. The plastic will keep the recipe from getting dirty.

I've tried several systems, but this one is the quickest and easiest for me.

Creative name for a cookbook?

Jul 15, 2008 by Tara | Posted in Cooking & Recipes

I am putting together all my favorite recipes to make a cookbook for myself when I move out of my parents’ house. I am putting them into sheet protectors in a 3 ring binder. I wanted to scrapbook a title page (I love scrapbooking and would do the entire book if I had more time). I want a creative and funny title for it. Any ideas? And any ideas for a cover? (pictures please)
It's going to be a collection of all different types of recipes.

Tara's bistro
All my favorites'
Whats for dinner
Tara and you make dinner for two
The scrapbook cookbook
Tara's specialties
Old thyme favorites'

Just off the top of my head with what you gave me. If I knew what kind of recipes you had I could come up with more. What ever you choose just let it remind you of home because trust me once you move out you will spend more time there or thinking about home. The cookbook will let you remember with out having to drive over there all time. Plus when you get good at something you can invite you parents over for dinner at your spot.

Need advice on binding a cookbook?

Sep 27, 2006 by babygirl4us | Posted in Other - Food & Drink

I am making my family cookbooks for Christmas, the only problem is, I don't know how to put the pages together. I don't want to put them in a binder. I want it to look professional. Thanks for any advice.

Take them to a quick copy or small printer.. as to have them wire bound or spiral bound... it will cost you about $3 per book depending on the saize of the finished book... this will be mush nice looking than a binder.. and it will lay flat for the user, which is far better than any other type of binding..
