Best cookbook I have ever used...love the recipes and the coordination of meals. I even like the presentations, though Martha does go over the top! Highly recommend
I love this book!!

My husband does all the cooking--and is a great and innovative cook who has the ability to make splendid meals without a recipe! Then there is me... I enjoy great food but am not a very accomplished cook. Thank goodness for Martha Stewart's Quick Cook Menus. I have had the hardbook version of this wonderful cookbook for almost 20 years and (before marriage) made MANY OUTSTANDING dinners from it! It is well-presented, easy to put a fabulous dinner together with the companion dishes, and it is not difficult to find most ingredients!! Now that I don't cook, I STILL browse this cookbook (I'm no dummy, though--if I started cooking from it, I would have to take over the kitchen...). I just ordered two copies for gifts, one for my newly married niece (unfortunately, she didn't hold out for a chef!!) and the other for a good friend. I highly recommend this!!!
Quick and Quality Meals
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is an excellent cookbook for the cook who wants to prepare quality meals, but has limited time. Most ingredients, including seasonings, are easily procured or already on the shelf. Photography is beautiful and adds to the appeal of the food. I could happily have done without Martha's tedious running commentary on her fast track personal life, and that of her now divorced husband. But that can be ignored. It's the recipes that matter. This is a cook book that gets pulled down from the shelf.
Great Cookbook with Great Results!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Great cookbook with well written instructions. Practical recipes for the most part. I have found most of Martha Stewart's recipes do work and are delishous. I wish "Collected Recipes for Every Day" had pictures like this one does. If "jeffsdate" cannot finish these menues in an hour, he must not be used to multi-tasking.
One of my very first cookbooks!

I didn't know how to cook to save my life when I bought this book...this and the Silver Palate cookbook were the first I ever used. I found the recipes here easy, and have had great results...the only downsides are that some of the ingredients are expensive and hard-to-find if you don't live in a major city, and, even 10 years later, they still take longer than an hour to prepare.But who cares? I'm a sucker for cookbooks with lots of glossy photographs, and I don't care what anyone thinks, I love Martha. If you do, too, then you will enjoy this book.
