A captivating collection 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 recipes with a retro/nostalgic twist. Eighty percent of the book includes tried-and-true recipes that simply aren’t in today’s cooking repertoire—mainly from-scratch 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 à la King, Waldorf Salad, and Chiffon Cake. These lost recipes are ready to grace the tables of a whole new generation of cooks.

Review: Mr. Hollis has created a good cookbook and he has made the majority if not all of these recipes and tried them on multiple social media sites. Good job Mr. Hollis.

Title: Not Very Lost
Review: I pre-ordered this book several months ago thinking it would truly be a lost collection of Betty Crocker recipes compiled into one book.Unfortunately, that is not the case.Some of the recipes are not even vintage and the ones that are have already been published in other Betty Crocker books over the years, mainly those in the Desserts chapterâincluding:Starlight Yellow CakeVelvet Crumb CakeGingerbreadJelly RollLemon Chiffon CakeCream PuffsMolasses CrinklesHermitsBanana Cream PieIf you have any of the above recipes, you'll probably want to skip buying this book. It really is more of a retrospective look back at Betty Crocker with previously published recipes thrown in. Why call the book Lost Recipes if the recipes in it are not lost?Other things that irked me when I flipped through the book:The Appetizers & Snacks chapter features one cocktail recipe (Manhattan Cocktails), but no othersâexcept for a few non-alcoholic beverages (mostly Punches).Chapter 3 is called Breads and Coffee Cakes, yet only one coffee cakeâCherry Swirl Coffee Cakeâis included in the chapter (and it calls for Bisquick and canned cherry pie filling). The remaining recipes in the chapter fall under the Quick Bread or Yeast Bread category. No Streusel, Crumb, or Sour Cream coffee cakes are included in the chapter.Maybe I took the title a little too seriously, but it definitely wasn't what I expected. I did find two recipes in the Main Dishes chapter (Stuffed Peppers, Meat Loaf) that I'd probably try.If you're on the fence about whether you should buy this book or not, my advice would be to preview it before you do.
