I'm glad it looks familiar! I'm a bit of a cookbook geek so it sounds to me like your mom might have had the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, editions of which had a red and white checked cover. Perhaps she had the 1953 edition (which was reprinted in a facsimile edition in 2005)?

The original Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook also had a red and white cover and was first published in 1950 (and reprinted in 1998):

In any case, I haven't been able to find evidence that Betty Crocker's Hostess Cookbook (the one in the Draper kitchen) was ever published before 1967, and the [First Edition notice] (http://imgur.com/FK8dzOH) in the copy I have would seem to back this up.

Betty Crocker was a busy lady in the 1960s, and she published several more spiral-bound cookbooks similar to the one I have. I've also since found copies of her ["New Dinner for Two"] (https://www.amazon.com/Betty-Crockers-New-Dinner-Cookbook/dp/B0007HIHVU/) and ["New Good & Easy"] (https://www.amazon.com/Betty-Crockers-New-Dinner-Cookbook/dp/B0007HIHVU) cookbooks. I wonder if Betty D. ever had a chance to use those too?

This book?

You should supplement it with This which explains the how and why of cooking rather than being a recipe book, I have this and it is one of the most amazing cooking books I have ever seen.
