    Good Afternoon Michelle, Thank you for sharing such a wide selection of cookery books. I have heard of Betty Crocker and The Pioneer Woman, but none of the others. I think that is because I live in England. I was fascinated by the Back in the Day cookery book as it looked really interesting.
    Best Wishes
