What is the difference between the Regular and Bridal editions of the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook?
The Bridal edition came out in 2004 and clocks in at 640 pages. From its amazon listing, I found that this edition includes: “The New Cook Book features more than 1,250 great-tasting recipes and a special chapter especially for newlywed couples with dinners for two, top 10 recipes for new cooks and tips for entertaining friends, hosting holiday meals, contemporary cocktails, and more.” Just out of curiosity, I also looked up the current edition of the standard “plaid” cook book. The 2007 (14th) edition of the BH&G cook book is 656 pages and now features: “The 14th edition boasts a new format, additional pages in the popular chapters: Cookies, Desserts, Slow Cooker Recipes, and Grilling. Plus, the Grilling chapter now features recipes for the turkey fryer and more recipes for the smoke cooker. For those with busy lifestyles check out the all-new 20-Minute chapter, which includes more than 45 fast meal solutions for time-crunched cooks.” That’s right, 20-minute meals — take that, Rachel
