The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: The New Classics

Lots of great recipes.

Too much to explain. A very Classy Lady. Great explanations and rather simple directions.

Can you go wrong with Martha Stewart? I think not. great beginner and moderate recipes with great options to build your skill set as you test out recipes within this book. This is a must have book, for sure.

this is hands down the best cookbook i have ever used. normally i'll buy a cookbook and it will be filled with recipes i would never even think of making with ingredients that are hard to find. but this cookbook has so many amazing recipes that all i want to do now is cook!!!! i can't wait til christmas so i can try a bunch of them....especially the babka recipe. directions are easy to follow and the array of recipes in each category is plentiful. love it!!

I purchased this book as a wedding present. When it arrived, I had to take time to look through it before passing it on to the young bride. I have been cooking since I was seven years old, even had my own catering business and taken a few lessons at the Geenbrier Resort. I am sixty-eight years old and am now retired with time to devote to cooking. I no longer want to "wing" it. This marvelous book has given me the impetus needed to enhance my food preparation skills. It is never to late to learn!

Martha does it again. A great collection of recipes and advice to allow readers to create great food. Worth the small price many times over!

This is by far one of the best cookbooks I have used. My husband who only cooks one day a week will only use this book. Great recieps that are easy to prepare.

This cookbook is extremely useful, as long as you know how to use it. The index is straightforward and helpful, whether you have one or both of the snazzy new cookbooks. The recipes are fabulous, but just keep in mind that some are for casual everyday meals, while others are much more complicated and require a bit more experience to make. I think the book works well, giving less adept cooks new things to try out, while also giving challenges to more advanced and adventurous cooks. The cooking "necessities" lists in the front are helpful and presented well, and the layout of the book makes it easy to locate the recipes you need and their accompaniments.
