Better Homes & 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 look back at the history of Better Homes & Gardens， including a "Behind the Kitchen Door" feature about America's first test kitchen， and a "Then & Now" section comparing original classics to updated recipes influenced by flavor and current food trends。 With more than 1，000 recipes and a photo for each one， the book covers traditional dishes such as Brownies and new favorites like Cold Brew Coffee。

This edition maintains 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。
