I have an early 1990s Betty Crocker cookbook. It is not in any way great, but it tells how to cook a turkey or a baked potato or a few other things and then there are lots of beloved childhood dishes that, since my Mom wasn't some amazing chef, are pretty much straight out of the Betty Crocker Cookbook.

As far as online recipes, I just google whatever I want to make. If the recipe starts out with "I was born a poor black child..." and goes on for 37 more paragraphs before getting to actual food preparation I skip it. If there's more than about 5 ingredients and I have to drive around or order them instead of just going to the nearest supermarket I skip it. If there's 98 steps and farting around, I skip it. I'll usually be left with at least one recipe that isn't a pain in the ass and most of the ingredients are in my cupboard and what I lack I can substitute or safely skip.

Yes I hit the "skip straight to the recipe" button all the time.

My mom had Betty Crocker cookbooks. Sadly they either got left behind at my parent's house or taken by my older brothers. I mostly microwave rather than cook so I'm not too worried. Though sometimes I wish I knew how to make her lentil stew. That was the best with spaetzle and my mom would add hot dogs to it for my youngest brother. She was always trying to get us to eat healthy. I didn't realize her "Indian" burgers were meatless lentil burgers until years later.

It's really the best. Some of the recipes are "general" so they make doing parts of things easy. Like making a roux or making pickles, but the recipes are our go to.

Lots of cooking theory threaded in and around the recipes. Very worth having.

My mom's copy got left behind at her old house. I'm sure if I got cooking more I could find a copy on Amazon or Ebay. I do have CDs full of how to cook various dishes from Chef Alton Brown though.

I bet one could easily find the Betty Crocker book.

Thank night I made zucchini noodles with mushrooms and fake sausage meat that I thought would be awful, but it was pretty good. Then I added some pesto and grated Parm cheese onto it

I made my own ketchup tonight. Its pretty fucking tasty!
