Better Homes and 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 showcase the history of America' s first test kitchen, how classic recipes have taken on modern twists over the years, and “ then and now” features detailing kitchen trends and cooking techniques that have evolved over time. With more than 1,000 recipes and a photo for each one, the book covers both traditional dishes such as Brownies and new favorites like Cold Brew Coffee. This edition maintains a 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.
