One of the prettiest baking books I've encountered, and the recipes are spot on and accurate (Early Martha was not like that, if you remember). There is a recipe for a chocolate cream cheese sour cream icing that I could (and have) eaten out of the bowl like pudding. Screw the cupcakes - the fros...
Originally posted on sarahsbookshelf.com:You cannot be a serious cook without at least giving a little credit to Martha Stewart for her work getting people interested in the business of cooking at home.

Really a 4.5. I like this book. Wish I had it when my child was younger and we cooked every night. Each recipe has a photograph of the end result. The ingredients lists are short, and the ingredients are fresh and carried by most grocery stores. I especially like the Sides chapter as I tend to m...
This is a great reference for all different ranges of experience levels with tons of projects and ideas. Easy to understand instructions, clearly listed materials, and great pictures to walk you through the tutorials. In the back there are several patterns and templets. I checked this book out at...

Most of the patterns are included* and the instructions are well written and easy to follow. (*Some of the designs need to be printed off online from the Martha Stewart websit...
I think she should be ashamed of herself. Read Clementine Paddleford's "How American Eats" instead. Overly common recipes and not even the best versions you could find for say...meatloaf or apple pie. The photography was lush, as ever in most cookbooks, but the recipes? I made the chicken sal...
I flipped through this book in the library and decided to bring it home before realizing it was for people 40+ By the time I did realize it, I was already interested. The path to longevity starts well before you're 40. This is a very basic, wide-ranging book but it didn't feel like it was trying ...
