I do know how to cook, but I find basic American food to be too high in fat, salt, sugars and basically things that are bad for you. I also think a lot of it is pretty flat and tasteless. ( I love ethnic foods best) This book is pretty much European in flavor and technique, but I do have to watch the salt and fat content of the recipes. I do consider it a GO TO BOOK for basic cooking, if I am stumped for what to bring to a gathering or party this and the sister book NEW CL...more

OK, so here's the thing. I'm a little embarrassed, but I love these survey-size Martha cookbooks. There are lots of recipes that don't involve cans of limp vegetables, ground beef, or the perennial cream of mushroom soup. If you cull appropriately, there are good, simple recipes that use a variety of spice-sets, and a variety of veggies and fruits. When you have beets or kholrabi (sp?) in your CSA box and no idea what to do....you can call Martha. There are also basics that you're too embar...more
This is not as good as the New Classics cookbook that is the companion to this one--the indexes are cross-referenced (another organizational touch that is nice). The recipes here are a little more traditional and a little heavier. This book is also available on ebook, and right now one of the few, so nice that it is well done

I bought this just to have an up-to-date reference sort of cookbook, considering that I only had my grandma's Betty Crocker binder before this came into my kitchen, plus the internet. I trust Martha and her minions.

purchased at jellys in honolulu. lots more basic instructions to build up to fancy dancy cookery. our spanikopita came out like a dream and martha helped!!
If you like her magazine, you will like her books. Very detailed. This book has an autographed bookplate and autographed picture of Martha Stewart.
This is the essential Martha cookbook. a great reference if you are cooking your first roast, soufle, anything that may intimidate.
the mac and cheese is AMAZING you guys. on the real, one of my favorite things to make, eat and serve.
Lots of good recipes. Some are pretty demanding, but still lots of good stuff.
If you like her magazine, you will like her books. Very detailed.
Martha Quality, but nothing that stands out as spectacular.
You can hate her if you want to, but I love this cookbook.
Simple, plan, complete!
