How much do you know about Betty Crocker and the Red Spoon?
I thought I start this trivia thread for fun. Smile

So basic set up (for this thread):
I will post the question. As you submit your answers- we’ll respond warm or cold… and once it’s answered correctly we’ll post the next question.


So as you read the entire thread below... this is where we left off:

Question 1:
Betty Crocker is sometimes called, “The First Lady of _______________”
 
Answer:
Food (AL Cooker answered right!)


Question 2:
How many kitchens are in the Betty Crocker Kitchens?
 
Answer:
19
(AL Cooker answered right!)
Boasting 13,595 square feet, the workspace makes it easier for home economists to perform more than 50,000 recipe tests each year for a whole new generation of cooks.


Question 3:
What year did first “Big Red” cookbook debut?  (HINT: Sometime in the 1950's)

Answer: 1950 (omamcm answered right!)

First issued in 1950,“Big Red”(as the big picture cookbooks have been dubbed in honor of the original) is now in its tenth edition, released in 2005. Millions of copies have been sold over the years, making it one of the all-time best-selling books in the world. Since 1980,Betty Crocker also has published recipe magazines featuring recipes, preparation tips and presentation ideas for easy everyday cooking. The magazines are available at supermarkets across America.


Question 4:

Testing recipes...what a great job that would be to me!


I thought 10 at first, but since your response, I'll guess 19!

Correct :) There are 19 kitchens in the BC kitchens. Boasting 13,595 square feet, the workspace makes it easier for home economists to perform more than 50,000 recipe tests for each year for a whole new generation of cooks.

Next question!

What year did the first "Big Red" cookbook debut?
