This cookbooks provides you with the recipes from the entire year of Marta Stewart Living magazines. Since I have used many of those recipes from her magazine, I found having them all compiled in one volume much more convenient (even though I have every issue the book covers).

For rave reviews, try the guacamole recipe. It is by far the top requested item for me to bring to a gathering!

Overall, a great book.

This cookbook's tantalizing recipes and mouthwatering photos are irresistable. It even inspired my husband to cook something other than linguine for the first time. Last night, he successfully followed the recipe for mint and pistachio leg of lamb and it was flawless. Thank you Martha for bringing divine meals from another universe to our home in this gorgeous and accessible cookbook . It has everything I could ever want to eat and hopefully everything my husband wants to cook! Tonight, cornflake-encrusted chicken!

I liked the 2002 book better, but this one is great, too. Tried some of the recipes, and no problems there. The recipes range from simple to extravagant and there's something for any occasion or taste. Also a beautiful book to add to a cookbook collection. This book has convenient conversion chart in the back unlike last year.

I just bought this book and tried two recipes this weekend, an endive salad with pears and gorgonzola and the minestrone soup. Both were delicious and fool proof, and I can't wait to start trying more. There's a large variety of recipes that covers entire meals with plenty suggestions to use seasonal ingredients. There are recipes for classics and new dishes, from simple to elaborate and elegant. There's not a picture of everything (unfortunately), but the pictures present are very inspiring. Paper quality could have been better, but I'm still thrilled with this book.

Try the Fit To Cook, Fannie Farmer, Le Cordon Blue collection or even Betty Crocker excellent picture cook book. They are better books at better prices.

The 1896 Boston Cooking School book is an absolute gem and a bargain.

I tried to prepare a few dinners using this and the meals tasted lousy. I think she lost her touch due to her ethical and legal problems. There are better boooks out there.
