Martha Stewart's Wedding Cakes...Awesome!
I purchased this book because I was interested in learning how to make wedding cakes. My first, which wasn't even a wedding cake, it was my neice's 3rd birthday cake, came out so beautifully. I used the recipes for the Vanilla Bean Sponge Cake and the Chocolate Butter Cake...both were PHENOMENAL and I got rave reviews. I even had three people inquire about me making cakes for them!!! Although ...

Greatest home cleaning book EVER!!
When I finally ordered this book after drooling over it for months I couldn't believe how HUGE it is. At first, I thought they had shipped me an extra book by accident. This book truly is an encyclopedia of cleaning. I had no idea that people did most of the things in here, and I learned that I've completely destroyed the finish on my sinks by cleaning with Comet and a serious scrubbing sponge, ...

Great Food in No Time at All!
I have recently become a fan of The Barefoot Contessa (Ina Garten) and wanted to own one of her lavishly illustrated coffee table cookbooks. I checked them all out of my local library and settled on this, her first book--not because it is better, but because it contains more of the recipes I am interested in. The photos are lovely, directions easy to follow and taste is superb, plus they are not ...

Cookbook Heaven
I have never found a cookbook with so many wonderful recipes, and when they say easy, they mean it. Not a ton of ingredients, but tons of flavor. I love that there is a color picture with every recipe too, so you know what the dish is supposed to look like. I would recommend this for any cook....novice or experienced.

Amazing book
I love this book. As someone who hasn't been baking too long, this has helped me a lot. I normally don't get too hung up on pictures in cookbooks. Yes, they're nice if they're there, but I can live without them. In this case, they are extremely helpful because there are so many different desserts in this book that I had never even heard of before! Luckily every single recipe in this book has a ...

So excited!!!....until I opened it
I ordered this planner as a gift for my best girlfriend who recently got engaged. A few reviews mentioned that the materials are excellent, but the binder arrived broken. I thought, hey that would never happen to me, those people are crazy. Um, it arrived broken. I would recommend purchasing this planner as the materials are great, but be prepared to purchase a new binder and transfew the ...

Best Cookie Recipe Book
This is the best cookie recipe book I have ever seen. Not only are all of the recipes amazing (I have made quite a few of them, and I trust all of Martha's recipes), but the front of the book has a picture cookie index. Its a BRILLIANT idea. All of the cookies have a photo with the name and page number and are divided into categories. This is a great tool when you are trying to figure out ...

Excellent
I got this book out from the library so many times that I had to buy it. I like the fact that every dish has a photograph so that you can see the how the finished result is meant to look, plus there is a wide range of simple through to fancy hors d'oevres for every occassion. This book is just full of ideas, and is well organised into different categories. Some people have mentioned that they ...

The Martha Rules: 10 Essentials for Achieving Success as You Start, Build, or Manage a Business

Rodale Books, 2005

Martha really does RULE!
I love this book! The Martha Rules is chock full of excellent down to earth advice on how to get started in entrepreneurial business. The additional attraction is that these are life lessons as well that can easily be applied to our everyday behavior. I keep it on my desk and just pick it up from time to time since every page has some form of positive reinforcement. And that is a good thing.

My 18 year old copy is still an inspiration!
This is NOT A COOKBOOK! This book is more a guide to throwing a great party that includes recipes as a bonus. The guide to setting up a bar alone makes it worth having. There are so many excellent ideas in here, beautiful photos, an emphasis on presentation and beautiful food....that never goes out of style.

Oxmoor House, 1993

Looking for a way to make your holidays more elegant?
This offering from Martha Stewart provides a new, more elegant way to celebrate the holidays. The menus she presents are a refreshing departure from the traditional "turkey and dressing". Her decorating ideas are absolutely exquisite (a fact that did not go unnoticed by our guests). My friends and I enjoyed making the decorations and preparing the meal as much as our guests enjoyed looking ...

Like a heavy duty magazine
I'm a self diagnosed magazine junkie. If you're like me, this book is for you. It's like a heavy duty well laid out magazine without the ads. Awesome! If you're more of a text-book reader then Martha's Housekeeping Handbook... which I also love... is right up your alley. Oh and by the way... I'm sort of lukewarm to Martha in general, so I don't give rave reviews based on my affection for ...

Martha DEFINITELY knows her stuff!
First, I would like to personally thank Martha (and her team) for the wonderful inspiration and pleasure that my family and I gleaned from this book. After having copied flower ideas and taken on board general tips given, on the big day we were bowled over with the amount of appreciation shown and praise given by guests. The results were truly wonderful. I would like to point out that even ...

great Martha book
This is a great book. Very Martha. I couldn't wait to get it (but had to since someone told me that it was coming for a Christmas gift so I couldn't buy it!) Too bad I didn't have it before the holidays, as I could have used it plenty in preparation for Christmas dinner.

The Foster's Market Cookbook: Favorite Recipes for Morning, Noon, and Night

Just as good as Fosters!
As a student at Duke University, my friends and I went to Fosters for brunch EVERY Sunday. The breakfast specials - pancakes, omlets, and the "special" - were always, without fail, incredible. If we made it there later in the day, the soups, breads, and salads were always a hit. My best friend bought me this cookbook for graduation, and it was by far the best gift I received. Being able to ...

excellent cookbook
A really great cookbook--not too complicated, but not dumbed down. A decent variety for an MS book None of the recipes are TOO exotic, but foods from a variety of cultures are here. Granted it's mostly American/European, but there's a fair number of Latin and Asian foods and a bit of others as well. If anything, I'd like to see more in the Meats chapter. Poultry chapter, breakfast chapter, ...
