The Martha Stewart Cookbook: Collected Recipes for Every Day

The Martha Stewart Cookbook: Collected Recipes for Every Day

The ultimate Martha Stewart recipe collection. All the recipes from Martha's original books--more than 1,400 in all--have been gathered into one convenient reference book for everyday use in the kitchen. With more than 1,600 recipes, there's something for every palate in this handsomely-designed and sturdy cookbook by the author of 11 best-selling books on cooking, entertaining, gardening and home improvement. In case you haven't been counting, Stewart's nine previous cookbooks (Entertaining, Weddings, Quick Cook, etc.) contain more than 1400 recipes-and here they all are, with new, step-by-step illustrations, tip boxes, and menu suggestions. Recipes are organized by course or food group, with a separate (and surprisingly short) chapter on Entertaining a Crowd. Part of the huge appeal Stewart's books have always had comes from the beautiful photographs of beautiful food; without color shots of her unique presentations for inspiration, this falls into a rather different category. But fans will welcome the compendium as a resource and a reference; most collections will want multiple copies. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. Never mind that Stewart has written nine cookbooks, that this latest one is simply a conglomeration of 1,400 recipes from previous ones, or that she borrows ideas and dishes from the best chefs. Her name will guarantee steady requests. Recipes are traditional ethnic foods, comfort foods, and newfangled "fused" meals. Barbara Jacobs The ultimate Martha Stewart recipe collection.
