[.ca] Betty Crocker's Bisquick Cookbook (ISBN 0764561561)

From Amazon.com:
No kitchen cabinet is complete without a box of Bisquick. For nearly 70 years, the familiar yellow box has been a staple for biscuits, shortcakes, and quick dinners. Updated for the millennium, Betty Crocker's Bisquick Cookbook is filled with old favorites, such as Cinnamon Streusel Coffeecake and Oven-Fried Chicken, plus new recipes for the likes of Rhubarb Meringue Torte and Thai Chicken with Spicy Peanut Sauce. The cookbook is divided into seven sections, including such standards as "Best-Ever Breakfasts," "Savory Snacks and Breads," "Family-Pleasing Dinners," and "Delicious Desserts." There's a whole chapter on Bisquick's famous Impossibly Easy pies, featuring savory items such as Taco Pie, Salmon-Asparagus Pie, and--a favorite with the kids--Mac 'n' Cheese Pie, in addition to Coconut Pie (the very first Impossible Pie), French Apple Pie, and Mocha Fudge Cheesecake. Calorie watchers should check out the "Favorites Made Lighter" recipes, which use Reduced-Fat Bisquick. There are recipes for Hearty Chicken and Potato Dinner, Southwest Tamale Tart, and Chocolate-Cinnamon Sundae Cake, all with half the fat of the original Bisquick dishes. If you have little helpers at your elbow, Betty Crocker's Bisquick Cookbook is a great introduction to cooking. Flip to "In the Kitchen with Kids" and make Jack-o'-Lantern Pizzas for dinner followed by Banana S'mores. There's even a Bisquick-based play dough and squiggle paint recipe (just for playing; no eating, please). Every recipe has an accompanying picture and a Betty's Tip to help you out. Whether you want to whip up a batch of biscuits or make individual Italian Sausage Pot Pies, dinner is only minutes away. --Dana Van Nest

A real timesaver!:
As an extremely busy person, I am always looking for fast and easy things to cook and bake. The Bisquick Cookbook is perfect for me! The recipes typically call for ingredients that you have on hand and are always easy to make. For example, this weekend I woke up Saturday morning, we were snowed in, and I wanted to have something besides cereal for breakfast. I started browsing through my various cookbooks and the only one that came through for me was this one. This is a great cookbook!

A great cookbook:
I love this book, keep Bisquick on hand and make waffles and pancakes that are to die for. But the real reason I bought this book is we love the Impossible Pies. Impossible pies that are for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. They are all wonderful. The fruit pies are great too, and so easy, along with so many dinner ideas that are simple. Which is important as time is so short these days. This cookbook will expand the menu at any home.

The most useful cookbook!:
I recieved this book as a Christmas gift last week and have already used this book several times. This is one of the most handy cookbooks that I have come across. I was pleasantly surprised with the variety. In addition to standard Bisquick waffles and biscuits there are sophisticated entrees and desserts. The cocunut chicken with apricot glaze was wonderful! This is a lavishly illustrateed book with a photo of every recipe and many illustrated side bars offering technique! Each recipe is explained step by step. The chicken and dumplings turned out perfectly thanks to the great advice! This is a fantastic investment with so many delicious and creative recipes! This is already one of my favorite cookbooks!

Original Bisquick is still a secret.:
Good ideas for making things out of Bisquicks - however you are supposed to buy the bisquick mix to use the recipies in this book. Wish they showed how to make the bisquick mix at home - but then I guess the stores couldn't sell it any more.

Great cookbook!:
I've seen different Bisquick recipes in other magazines...but it is nice to have ALL the recipes in one easy to use book! Fantastic book - easy to follow directions and lots of great pictures. I've made several of the recipes for family and I am always told "this is a keeper."
