The first Martha Stewart cookbook that I purchased was her "The Martha Stewart Cookbook." Awfully good, but not for the everyday cook in his/her kitchen. The second of her cookbooks, "Martha Stewart's Cooking School," was more accessible (at least to me). I have enjoyed a number of recipes from this book. My third acquisition, "Martha Stewart's Dinner at Home," has an interesting twist--(Page 9): "Arranged seasonally to take advantage of what's in the market, t...more

I admit I have a weakness for cookbooks arranged by season/menu, and this book has both - complete meal menus arranged by season. Most are simple enough for a weeknight dinner. (Although my feelings about that might change if I worked outside the home.) I like the updated recipes in this book better than either her Quick Cook or Quick Cook Menus books, and she includes a time line to help organize your cooking and get everything to the table at about the same time.

I'll admit, I didn't get this book for the recipes, I'm using the photos as inspiration for my miniature foods, so I haven't tried any of the recipes. As a vegetarian, this book would probably be worthless in my kitchen library, since all but one or two of the meals revolve around meat, but I like that the book is organized by season, enabling readers to take advantage of local produce, and the layout and photographs are stunning.

over the past year i accidentally started receiving Martha Stewart Living and in short order learned to trust and then eagerly anticipate the Dinner Tonight menu suggestion at the back of every issue. this cookbook offers the same genius, with menus organized by season, allowing the avid home cook to benefit from the best that CSAs, farmers' markets, and grocery stores have to offer.
the menus suggest interesting flavor pairings that i wouldn't have thought of myself, enough courses ...more

I admit it, I have thing for books that are divided into seasons and menus. Martha Stewart's Dinner at Home does both. It has 13 menus for each season so 52 meals - one for each week. It is arranged seasonally so that you can take advantage of what produce is in season. These recipes aren't your typical all-American meat and potatoes type of menu. They go go beyond but not so much that it is out of reach. Ingredients used are fairly simple and a person should be able to pick up at the grocery st...more
This didn't quite cut it for me. I received this book for Christmas andd was excitd to try the recipies. While the couple of the recipies I tried from this book turned out really well, the book itself really has no oomph and I find the choice of recipies a little disorganized and not well thought out. I'll keep it around but this is not my favorite.
These elegant meals and seasonal recipes would best benefit those planning meals for a group or a special occasion. Making side dishes and desserts for weekday meals is quite ambitious even for those who enjoy cooking.
Simple and fast. Just like weekday meals should be.
Found some new good receipes, including a pork kebab marinage that is great!
Sorry Martha. It's not a fit for our family and friends.
Interesting -- I got a few good recipes out of here. However, the subtitle says this book is for family ... I cannot see children of a certain age eating most of the food in this book.
Book is arranged by seasons beginning with spring and working its way through winter.
