Janie, I'm a little confused. Or maybe it's just too early. But what does & Reg mean in entries like Betty Crocker & Reg?

Does anyone have THE SILVER PALATE COOKBOOK?
I ordered it but Im thinking it may be over my head if they are gourmet recipes. I was able to order GEORGIA COOKING IN AN OKLAHOMA KITCHEN (thanks Kevin) and I got AUTHENTIC MEXICAN, 20TH-ANNIVERSARY EDITION.

What you probably ordered, Janie, is the 25th anniversary issue (silver anniversary, get it), which came out last year.
Is it gourmetish? You betcha. Is it beyond you? Not at all. The original introduced gourmet cooking and fine dining at home to a generation of Americans who were just coming of age, in a culinary sense. Just imagine if all of America was Greenup Cty. That's the world the book entered. It can, along with Julia Child, be credited with awakening the foodies we are today. What you want to do, when it comes, is wait until everyone else is asleep. Then curl up with it on the couch, with a glass of wine (or whatever) and read it like a novel.

love my Silver Palate books. Have the first one, The New Basics, Great Good Food (by just Julee Rosso. And probably my favorite Goodtimes Cookbook. Got original as a gift, the next two secondhand from Amazon. and Goodtimes from Amazon, I think new?
They are definately cookbooks you READ. enjoy, Nan

Im really afraid the recipes may be way outta my league Nan. I do more traditional southern comfort type cooking. Im hoping the book will help me expand my abilities in the kitchen.
I love curling up with a new cookbook and reading it from cover to cover. The last one I really enjoyed like that was Ina Garden's cookbook.

janie,
I'd really recommend "Screen Doors & Sweet Tea" written by a Mississippi chef who traveled to France- but who's now back in the Deep South cooking her beloved traditional cuisine. Her writings are wonderful and down-home. Recipes appear yummy too! Nice book to cozy-up with and read a few pages of at bed-time.
