Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

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.

From the Back Cover

The year was 1982, and Martha Stewart published her first book, Entertaining. This immediate best-seller, based on Martha's experience as a professional caterer, introduced readers to a new style of entertaining and a new style of cookbook - one that was gloriously photographed and filled with a wealth of information on the art of hospitality. In the years following, Martha wrote eight more books on food and entertaining, continuing to inspire a growing legion of fans with beautiful food, simply but elegantly presented. This book is the culmination of those years of publishing. More than 1,600 recipes and variations - all the recipes from Entertaining, Quick Cook, Pies & Tarts, Hors d'Oeuvres, Quick Cook Menus, Gardening, Weddings, Christmas, and Menus for Entertaining - are gathered together in a single volume. Thoroughly revised and updated, The Martha Stewart Cookbook includes a new introduction by Martha, new step-by-step illustrations, new menus, and sidebars and tips on subjects as varied as freezing pastry, selecting the best fruit, and setting the table.

About the Author

For more than twenty years, the food editors and chefs in the kitchens of MARTHA STEWART LIVING have been producing bestselling cookbooks, including Meatless, Everyday Food: Light, Power Foods, and Martha Stewart’s Cooking School.

MARTHA STEWART is America’s most trusted lifestyle expert and teacher and the author of more than 80 books on cooking, entertaining, crafts, homekeeping, gardens, weddings, and decorating.

Rum Raisin Shortbread

*Makes about 4 1/2 dozen*

This crumbly shortbread is studded with dried currants, which are tiny
raisins made from Zante grapes. The currants must be soaked overnight,
so you'll need to plan your craving a day in advance.

    * 1/2 cup dark rum
    * 1 cup currants
    * 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
    * 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
    * 1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
    * 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    * 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    * 3/4 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
    * 1 teaspoon coarse salt

1. Combine rum and currants in an airtight container; let sit at room
temperature overnight. Drain; reserving 2 tablespoons rum.

2. Put butter, confectioners' sugar, and zest in the bowl of an electric
mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until creamy and smooth,
about 2 minutes. Add vanilla and reserved rum. Beat well, scraping down
the sides of the bowl as necessary. Reduce speed to low. Add flour,
coconut, and salt, and beat for 3 minutes. Stir in currants by hand.
Divide dough in half and form each into a log about 1/2 inches in
diameter; wrap in parchment, and refrigerate 1 hour (or up to 3 days).

3. Preheat oven to 325°F. Remove dough from parchment; slice into
1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets,
spacing about 1 inch apart. Bake until pale golden, about 20 minutes,
rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer to wire racks to cool
completely. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room
temperature up to 1 week.

I have bought 4 copies of this book to give to friends because I love it. It is the perfect gift for anyone who likes to bake. I have been baking one new cookie every week with my son and daughter since we got this book in the summer.
What I love is that there are all types of recipes, simple ones and more complex, with a wide variety of flavors. The book is divided by cookie categories: Light and Delicate, Soft and Chewy, Crumbly and Sandy, Chunky and Nutty, Cakey and Tender, Crisp and Crunchy and Rich and Dense. Each category is accompanied with beautiful photos of the cookies, which are all shown in the table of contents. The book has beautiful layout (as always for martha books) and easy to follow recipes.

Enjoy!

I am not a huge fan of Martha Stewart but when I wanted a cookbook on cookies, I purchased this based on the many positive recipes. I was prepared to just like the book but I love it. I love how the recipes are organized as light and delicate, soft and chewy, crispy and crunchy etc. The list of recipes in the first few pages is really neat, including not just the name of the cookie and page number but also a small photograph of the cookie. There are enough recipes, about 175 of them, to suit every taste with beautiful photographs that entice you to try them.

This book was put to good use over the holidays when I purchased it. I have tried well over 25 recipes since I purchased the book last month even modifying some of them. Turned out great each time.

Nice tips at the end with a very typical Martha type write up on how to package cookie as gifts. Very neat!

This has some exotic recipes for making treats. Have tried one so far and only got an ok for that experiment. Need to "leave the raisins out" was the advice. I will write this on that page. Also, was looking for some of the recipes from Martha Stewart's Magazine but did not find those. :-( A molasses cookie with oatmeal.
Adding to this review in 2024 there are some yummy cookie recipes in this book. It is a paper cover book and mine is coming apart. This is the best of Martha Stewart's cookie books. Chocolate ginger bread and white chocolate with gold raisins are both yummy make double batches. Now I am getting asked to make the cookies with all the fruit and nuts in them or anything with gold raisins. Who knew back in "You purchased this edition on April 1, 2017. "

Well organized, delicious, beaufiful pictures
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2008
Verified Purchase
I checked this book out at my local library and made a few cookies before ordering it. (I have too many cookbooks as it is). The recipes and photos are divine! The only complaint I have about this book is that I wish the publisher had included measurements by weight. Most home cooks use volume to measure out ingredients, but those of us who use weight have a hard and tedious time going back to volume. That being said, I want to tell you that the most delicious Palmiers and Chocolate Crackle cookies I have ever eaten, came out of this book. During Christmas I bake LOTS of cookies to give away, and this year I received many compliments on the cookies from this book. So next year I will use some of the same recipes plus a few new ones. Besides the great photos and recipes, the Table of Contents is a pictorial of the 175 cookie recipes. All the cookies are right there, in front of you to choose from without having to peruse the entire book to choose what you are going to bake. This to me is a great time saver. The cookies are divided into the following sections:
Light and Delicate
Soft and Chewy
Crumbly and Sandy
Chunky and Nutty
Cakey and Tender
Crisp and Crunchy
Rich and Dense
Tools and Techniques
Packaging and Giving
Sources
This is a great book to own, but be careful.....those cookies have a way of jumping out of the page, make you bake them, and then insist on following you everywhere by sitting on your hips, thighs, belly, etc. If you are not a cookie monster now, you will be one if you have this book.

I bought this book because i've already bought the Martha Stewart's Cupcakes book.
I've been baking cookies for years and i really enjoy doing it :).
I own several cookie books but this one is really one of the finest. I've tested many recipes and despite the fact that i'm not from the usa, and i'm used to have my recipes in grams, if you have a set of measuring cups and spoons, you can do them just as well. There are a few recipes that have some ingredients that i can't find here in my country, but other than that...the recipes definetely work!
It has all the recipes grouped in sections, so you know what kind of cookie will turn out from the beginning and this also makes it easier for me to choose a cookie to make.
It has a picture of every single cookie which is important if you are not use to bake cookies, especially for the begginer baker as well. Definetely a must have for everyone who loves baking cookies.

OMG! Auf dieses Buch hat die Hausfrau in mir gewartet. Ein Buch mit lauter köstlichen Cookies, eines besser als das andere und man kann sich kaum entscheiden, ob man vorn, hinten oder mittendrin mit dem Backen anfängt und vor allem mit welcher Sportart man die Sünden wieder ausbügelt.

Das Buch ist in mehrere Gruppen eingeteilt, allein das Register ist ein Augenschmaus: für jede Kategorie gibt es eine Doppelseite mit je einem Bild jedes Kekses der Kategorie. So kann man einfach seinem Appetit folgen und das richtige Rezept für jede Stimmung finden. Die Rezepte sind (Englischkenntnisse vorrausgesetzt) leicht verständlich und wenn man sich einmal die Umrechnungen von Cups in Gramm usw. notiert, ist das Nachbacken kein Problem.

Eine Schande, dass es dieses Meisterwerk nur in englischer Ausgabe gibt- auch in Deutschland schmecken amerikanische Cookies wunderbar!

I have tried one recipe of this book, but I have others of this series and are real good too. Not disappointed at all. The only thing it's that almost all the ingredients are in cups and spoons, great for beginners, but I prefer to weight the ingredients to get better results. It has a variety of recipes too.
