Was there ever a connection between them and Pampered Chef? The Pizza Pizzaz cookbook that is accepted as a Pampered Chef cookbook doesn't mention PC anywhere.

Did PC at one time sell American Cooking Guild cookbooks?
 
The cover looks like the one PC carried about 15-18 years ago.

Did the one that PC carried have the Pampered Chef name one it? Do you have it? Can we compare contents?

I want to collect the PC cookbooks. I know that something called Hostess Choice exisited before Seasons Best, but I don't know how many. I know that there were smaller pamphlets that had Pillsbury & PC and a cookbook that had Campbells & PC. I bought the Pizza Pizzaz book on Ebay and it said "retired Pampered Chef".

I would love to have some sort of cookbook inventory/listing if anyone has one. I am making one of my own -- but I don't have a source for the older books.
 
I can't find my pizza one but the Pillsbury and Campbells ones both have PC on them.
 
Hi there,Thank you for your question. To the best of my knowledge, Pampered Chef has never had a connection with the American Cooking Guild. The Pizza Pizzaz cookbook may have been accepted as a Pampered Chef cookbook due to its compatibility with our products, but it is not an official Pampered Chef publication. Our cookbooks are always clearly marked with the Pampered Chef logo and branding.I hope this helps clarify any confusion. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. Have a great day!Best,
