A look back through the Betty Crocker recipe archive

This collection brings together hard-to-find, from-scratch recipes from Betty Crocker’s archives, alongside a smaller section on past cooking customs presented as historical curiosities rather than suggestions to revive them. Introductory stories, anecdotes, and artwork add context about Betty Crocker’s history, while features such as a guide to hosting a Hawaiian tiki party show how the book reaches beyond recipes. The publisher describes the recipes as using available ingredients and being intended for today’s kitchen, connecting the archival material with practical home cooking.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Cooks interested in classic American recipes and vintage food traditions
  • Betty Crocker fans curious about the brand’s history and archival material
  • Home cooks seeking hard-to-find from-scratch recipes

Book overview

A captivating vintage cookbook that celebrates the wonderful recipes from the Betty Crocker archives in a package that appeals to the modern cook

Betty Crocker Lost Recipes is the ultimate treasure for the most devoted Betty Crocker fans, as well as cooks who are interested in classic American cooking with a retro/nostalgic twist. Eighty percent of the book includes tried-and-true from-scratch recipes that simply aren't in today's cooking repertoire--recipes that are hard to find. Twenty percent is a fun look back at some of the cooking customs of the past that may not be worth repeating, but are worth remembering. Features include ideas like "How to Throw a Hawaiian Tiki Party," and the robust introductory pages contain interesting stories, anecdotes, and artwork from Betty Crocker's history. Recipes are carefully curated to ensure that they are still relevant, achievable, and made with available ingredients--think Beef Stroganoff, Chicken
