Summary: Martha Stewart Cookies
Comment: Book was dirty on front and back covers. Didn't look to be in "new" condition!
Customer Rating:
Summary: I'm disappointed in you, Martha.
Comment: Don't let the above line lead you to believe I'm not a Martha Stewart fan, becuase I am. I think she's done a lot for this world. However, for the money and it being from Martha the perfectionist who runs a multi-billion dollar company, I would have liked a hardcover cookbook, and I expected to see more pictures of the cookies. We eat with our eyes, and seeing a what a cookie looks like makes me want to make and eat it. The few pictures in it look like they weren't even professionaly photographed. The book overall just seemed to be low budget and nothing spectacular.

Summary: Makes a great gift for brides & new mothers - all the cookies they will ever need to bake are here!
Comment: This collection of recipes from Martha Stewart Living is beautifully organized by texture & type and covers the gamut from the most basic of cookies to some of the most adventurous. it is not by martha herself which I found refreshing since it doesn't pre-suppose you have a kitchen full of exotic ingredients and expensive equipment. Even the most daring cookies here can be attempted by a modestly equipped cook. Cookies with similar basic ingredients & textures are grouped together to illustrate how easy it can be to change up a basic recipe and trick it out for a more sophisticated taste-bud or occasion. The old standby's are here as well. All the recipes rely on good wholesome ingredients and very basic preparation methods but they add a flare of imagination. The cookie on the cover is a terrific example - chocolate filled chewy gingerbread! Yum! Inside are other similarly invetnive recipes such as Cream Cheese Shortbreads, Chocolate Malt Sandwhich cookies and more.
The best part of this book is that EVERY cookie is photographed so that you can see exactly how they are intended to look when finished. In addition, the instructions are free from frothy observations or self-congratulatory rhetoric that mar some her other publications. She did not write this book and it shows. Her editors wrote it. And that my friends, is a GOOD THING when it comes to a book such as this which is intended to be the only cookie book you'll ever need. I have already bought several as gifts for young mothers I know and dedicated cookie baking pals. This is really the last cookie book I will ever need. It will take me years to run out of recipes to try from this collection.

Comment: If you wanted just one book of recipes for cookies then, for me, this would be it.Well laid out with sections of different textures it is easy to choose the perfect cookie for any occasion-or just when you are in the mood to do a bit of baking.There is excellent variety in the recipes and I was especially pleased to see the recipe for Rum Raisin Shortbread which I had originally found in Living magazine.These cookies always get rave reviews when I make them.
