"Every month, Better Homes and Gardens magazine offers ideas and recipes that keep pace with your family. We cover areas of food that concern you most - nutritious eating, quick-and-easy cooking, and creative, affordable entertaining. And so you won't have to clip and store all that timely information, we've compiled it into a book. In this, our fourth annual recipe yearbook, you'll rediscover the recipes we published for you in 1985."
