In 1996, General Mills launched a nationwide search, The Spirit of Betty Crocker Contest, for her seventy-fifth anniversary. The purpose of the contest was to find seventy-five women who personify the characteristics of Betty Crocker-women who enjoy cooking and baking and who are committed to family and friends, resourceful and creative in handling everyday tasks, and involved in the community. Thousands of entrees were received and seventy-five women from across the nation were chosen. Now it's your chance to meet these extraordinary women as they share their stories and some of their best-loved Betty Crocker recipes with you. We think you'll discover there is a little bit of Betty Crocker in all of us.
