 cocina Bett Crocker - average recipes June 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I guess this book is about what you would expect from Betty Crocker, but I was expecting a little bit more in the way of Latin American food. Everything in the book is mid-west food from the 70's including Chex Party Mix, Sloppy joes and grilled cheese sandwiches. The translations seem to be good. I usually find myself translating recipes for my non-English speaking cook, so there were some phrases that were something I can use for other recipes, but I was hard pressed to find a recipe that I would actually use. There aren't as many recipes as I had hoped either. There is a lot of white space on the pages with one recipe per page using very small type - my cook will have to get her reading glasses out. (Oh how I wish someone would translate Joy of cooking into bi-lingual!)
On the positive side (this is why I gave it as good a rating as I did), there are good pictures and some how-to drawings for preparing meat, such as in stuffed pork chops. While there is nothing earth-shattering about the dessert menus, they have good instructions with Betty Crocker's standard step-by-step easy to follow directions.
 El espanol es malisimo May 30, 2008
El espanol de este libro es malisimo. Yo entiendo que en diferentes paises de habla hispana se tengan diferentes palabras para decir cosas, pero los verbos de la forma que se conjugan son iguales y la gramatica de este libro es malisima. No se donde han traducido este libro pero deberian tener cuidado. La gente esta aprendiendo un malisimo espanol.
Muchas gracias por escucharme.

Purchased this book for a Cuban friend and myself. I do not speak Spanish, but, wow this book sure helps me to translate my personal recipes into Spanish. This book has various meat, dessert, casserole, vegetable and salad recipes. I have cooked for over 50 years, and find the basics of cooking within these pages. I can help my friend with her English, and this book helps me to learn a bit of Spanish. Now, if only Betty Crocker could print their regular cookbook in English/Spanish. How awesome that would be.
