So I've seen this cookbook trashed elsewhere, and I should preface this review with the fact that I have a sign hanging in my kitchen that reads, "Martha Stewart doesn't live here." That said, I have made many many dishes from this book and have identified several items that I only make using these recipes (e.g., the potato salad with dill vinegraite and the sugar cookies with brandy [I subsitute cherry brandy:] are unbeatable). If you ignore the somewhat self-congratulatory tone, you will see s...more
I found this book among the piles my mother in law was going to throw away, so I snagged it. This is the 1982 version - nearly 30 years old, and what surprises me is how classic the lady's taste is. Not one thing was "trendy" for the time, or made me go "ewww - I'd never think of doing that now. How ugly." She's just kind of timeless in her perfection. And, of course, it's all "perfection" in this entertaining book, and something I am positive that I will never even attempt because I just plain...more
This was one of the first cookbooks I bought when I started entertaining. It's like all of her books - Playboy for the homemaker - you know your stuff will never look like this but you can't help vicariously staring at the gorgeous stuff in the photos and thinking "well maybe someday ..."
I enjoyed reading this book and loved the pictures. I heard later that not all the recipes work. (Leave it to Martha!) But I own it and look at it from time to time and I still enjoy it.
I actually own the initial edition of this book. It was a gift from my husband. I don't know where he found it. Martha had longer hair on the cover and seemed quite homely.
Purchased this book by "the great one"!It did not disappoint_but some of the recipes,etc...would take years for me to complete!
very dated now, but it is the classic book, and when it came out, it made her a star
It's Martha's first book, and it's good just like everything else. She wrote it in the 80's so it is a little more out of touch with reality than usual.
Classic. Perfection. I own a first edition.
