Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook
by Betty Crocker Editors
My mom had the 1970's version of this classic, which had slightly less queasy-looking photos...but this one is a reprint of the original, and it can't be beat for having super-basic instructions (like boiling an egg, for example) and some nice, simple recipes.
