Betty Crocker Complete Thanksgiving Cookbook Review
The trouble with a lot of Thanksgiving cookbooks is that they throw so many new and quite exotic dishes at the reader. I think most people still prefer their Thanksgiving with all of the traditional dishes.
Betty Crocker's book does just that while still giving you some new things to try, without making them too intimidating for the novice cook. Add to that the best sections of the book may be the sections on planning your dinner from shopping to all the make-aheads to getting the turkey ready for the oven.
You'll find all of the great traditional fare in this book with straight forward and easy to follow recipes no matter what the size of your gathering.
If your a traditionalist like me, then this is the book for you.

Betty Crocker Complete Thanksgiving Cookbook Overview
The complete hands-on guide to cooking a great Thanksgiving dinner–from Americas most trusted friend in the kitchen
Thanksgiving showcases cooking like no other holiday, as family and friends from near and far gather to share this special harvest-time meal. But while it sparks joyous feelings of celebration, this focus on food can also mean major stress for those in charge of preparing the feast and getting it on the table.
At last! Betty Crocker comes to the rescue with this complete do-it-yourself guide to making a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings–and none of the headaches. Perfect for beginners and Thanksgiving "first-timers" as well as more experienced cooks, it includes 130 of Betty Crockers most popular and time-tested Thanksgiving recipes. The book covers a range of recipes, from traditional roasting to new and interesting cooking variations like brining, grilling, and even deep-frying turkeys, plus lots of great ideas for sides, desserts, and more. Twelve count-down menus cover every aspect of the meal–such as when to set the table and how to time the gravy so its ready to serve at just the right time. The menus suit a whole range of lifestyles and situations, from dinner for two to dinner for twenty, from vegetarian and low-fat menus to a super-simple, low-stress menu for first-time cooks.
Complete with eight pages of mouthwatering photographs, detailed line drawings, and easy how-tos for turkey stuffing, roasting, carving, and more, Betty Crockers Complete Thanksgiving Cookbook is one guest everyone will want to have in the kitchen this fall and in the years to come.

Customer Reviews
For the Young Hostess - Tanya Ann Haddix - California
I purchased this book before I hosted my first Thanksgiving and I still use it as a reference. It has a good combination of traditional and modern dinners. The book also offers ideas on how to mix ideas. The time saver tips are helpful, and the different options on cooking a turkey are fun. Really important is the instructions are easy to fallow.
Not what I expected. - Kimberly N. Palmer - Port St. Lucie, FL
This book was full of off-the-wall recipes. Being a Betty Crocker cookbook and advertised as the Complete Thanksgiving Cookbook, I figured the recipes would be more traditional. I was disappointed.
A good book for using for cooking your first thanksgiving - Wendy Schroeder - Englewood, Co United States
Lots of good recipes especially for someone attempting to fix their first thanksgiving meal. Most are easy to make, lots of both traditional and updated holiday recipes. The instructions are easy to follow. Not so many recipes to choose from but makes it easier to plan a meal.
