Book Reviews of Betty Crocker Party Cookbook, Facsimile Edition

Book Review: Vintage Betty which is a wonderful thing!
Summary: 5 Stars

Betty Crocker's Party Book which was first published in 1960 is like taking a peek back in time. Yes, some of the recipes may need a bit of adapting (who has seen a box of Betty Crocker Orange Chiffon cake mix lately?) but most of the recipes are doable. In the case of the Orange Chiffon Cake mix, make your own from scratch cake and add the ingredients called for in the recipe. In this case the Orange Chiffon cake mix was needed for the Yuletide Chiffon cake recipe on page 133. In this recipe you could add the candied fruit and chopped nuts to your homemade chiffon cake recipe for example.

The cookbook comes with menu ideas. Below is a sample menu for a Christmas dinner:

Chicken for Christmas Dinner

California Cream Soup
Roast Stuffed Capon or Chicken
Gravy
Mashed Potatoes
Warm Spiced Crab Apples ringed with Broccoli Spears
Gourmet Tossed Green Salad
Parkerhouse Rolls
Sparkling Cranberry Sherbet
Yuletide Chiffon Cake


~~~~~

Valentine's Day

A Valentine Buffet Supper

Lobster Newburg in Heart Croustades
Baked Canadian Ham
Buttered Peas with Mushrooms
Pink Grapefruit-Avocado Salad
Hot Rolls
Heart-Shaped White Coconut Cake

~~~~~

Space Age Adventure Party (for boys 10 to 13 years old)

Sputnik Cheeseburgers
Satellite Tomatoes
Rocket Cake
Saturn Sodas

Directions are given on how to plan and create a space age themed party including invitations, games, table settings and favors for this party. Recipes are included for each party or event.

Party themes and ideas are given for all ages and include how to create the invitations, games, table settings and favors for each party. For some of the party ideas sewing or craft instructions are given to create a special costume or party decoration.

Overall, this book has plenty of good entertaining ideas that still work today. The book goes into detail about how to organize and implement different types of parties. It will tell the host or hostess how and when to send the invitations and the types of foods to select.

Finally, if you truly desire to try a retro party this book will give you all the details.

Highly recommend.

Summary of Betty Crocker Party Cookbook, Facsimile Edition

This faithful reproduction of Betty Crocker's Party Book will be a treat for anyone who lived through the 1960s--or wished they had! Packed with practical advice, classic recipes, color photographs, and whimsical illustrations, it reveals secrets of great parties back in the era of Leave It to Beaver, most of which are still applicable today. Readers will find detailed plans for more than 30 different parties, including themed birthday celebrations (such as a Space-Age Adventure Party and Cinderella Party), holiday get-togethers (for Christmas, Halloween, and more), and wedding-related events (like a Bridal Shower and an Anniversary Party). The accompanying recipes--including Blueberry Coffee Cake, Pineapple Chicken, Brownie S'Mores, and Easter Bunny Cake--are as tasty today as they were back in the sixties. Complete with craft ideas (such as how to make a gilded fruit centerpiece) and entertaining advice ("What Makes a Hostess Famous?"), this facsimile edition is a charming snapshot of life in a more innocent era--and a perfect gift.
