Cook the Book: 'The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: The New Classics'
Last week's Cook the Book was The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: The Original Classics. This week, we're highlighting its companion book, The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: The New Classics
. The New Classics expands upon the original book, offering a range of tried and true recipes from the more recent years of Martha's 16-year run.
As always, we'll be giving away five (5) copies of the book. All you have to do is tell us, in the comments here, if you've ever cooked from a Martha recipe and, if so, what.
Five winners will be chosen at random from among the commenters, and the comments will remain open until Monday, December 31 at noon. The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply.

Comments are closed: 523 Comments:
I've never cooked anything by her.

I made a couscous salad from an Everyday Food magazine. It was tasty, and friends request I bring it to potlucks, so I consider it a success.
psychsarah at 2:04PM on 12/24/07
pumpkin cupcakes from Martha Stewart Living. i added chopped chestnuts to the batter, and they turned out y-u-m-s-y.
ahpek at 2:13PM on 12/24/07
I made one of her christmas cookies once, but I am in awe of her obsessive-compulsiveness, her sheer willpower and dominance, and her ability to overcome the adversities that have befallen her. (I'd like to see if Oprah would be able to make a comeback after being forced to spend 16 months in prison for committing that victim less crime.)
DaveFaris at 2:14PM on 12/24/07
No, sadly I have not cooked a Martha Stewart recipe. :(
However, once you send me one of these cookbooks, I will cook away! :)

SEFB9118 at 3:12PM on 12/24/07
Honestly, I'm not sure. I may have used her pate brisee recipe.
Enmalkm at 3:23PM on 12/24/07
I've made blueberry and cherry pies. Salmon and asparagus couscous, and too many appetizers to name! Love Martha!

cybercita at 5:21PM on 12/24/07
I've baked her "Lemon Tassies" cookies (tedious but SO GOOD). In fact, I'm making them again in a couple hours...
fujiapple at 5:24PM on 12/24/07
Alexis' Chocolate Chip Cookies - a great favourite among friends!
wenwoo at 5:48PM on 12/24/07
I make a breakfast casserole that is supposedly her daughter's favorite on Christmas day. I have started making it Christmas morning for family. It is easy and delicious!
campy4 at 5:51PM on 12/24/07
I made some lovely apple tarts once, using a filling recipe from the Martha Stewart website and a different crust recipe. They were great!
Also I've made brownies from one of her recipes.
Eilen at 5:57PM on 12/24/07
Onion soup - delicious!

I've baked a key lime pie and a raspberry tart from her books. The key lime pie was one of the *best* I've tasted - and my guests agreed with me!
JeffsInTheKitchen at 8:20PM on 12/24/07
No, I've never cooked from a Martha Stewart recipe. I read a profile of her--in The New Yorker? the Sunday New York Times Magazine?--in the late '80s or early '90s that noted her habit of observing Good Things and referring to them as "Fantin-Latour moments." I've been kind of averse to her ever since.
But now that I read that Mario Batali is cooking some of his Christmas dinner from her recipe, I'm afraid it's time for me to break down and jump on the gravy--the bordelaise?--train...
klg19 at 8:54PM on 12/24/07
I tried the ricotta cheesecake a few times and it was divine!
Natalie at 9:35PM on 12/24/07
Haven't yet, but hope to!!!
kangatron at 10:16PM on 12/24/07
I've made a lot of Martha recipes--most recently, the Buttermilk Baked Chicken with Spinach Salad from Everyday Foods recipe, except I subbed out pork chops for the chicken.
heidijoy at 10:41PM on 12/24/07
not yet but i'm planning on making those espresso drop cookies
cafepeach at 1:09AM on 12/25/07

not yet, but i've made ornaments that were her idea.
Littlebluesiren at 9:01AM on 12/25/07
fried chicken (although I think she was working from a Chris Kimball recipe)
wisekaren at 9:24AM on 12/25/07
"Martha Stewart latkes" is kind of an oxymoron, IMO. I've never made any of her recipes but I'm sure there's something I'd try from this cookbook.
overw8 at 9:33AM on 12/25/07
I don't really remember anything notable although I have checked out her recipes online...
was thinking of trying out her version of boiled eggs- as funny as that sounds!
shimest at 9:39AM on 12/25/07
unfortunately, no
hedgehog at 11:18AM on 12/25/07

srhcb at 1:49PM on 12/25/07
I just made her lemon curd recipe...delicious!

not from her book but I would love to own one.
sln123 at 3:26PM on 12/25/07
yes, port fig butter, well I made this after someone brought it to my party and it was so good I got the recipe from them. So, not from an actual cook book!
Emelie at 3:34PM on 12/25/07
ciabatta. They turned out like the soles of my shoes! Someday I'll try them again.

mbtmom at 4:35PM on 12/25/07
We've tried to make Martha's mushroom risotto from an older cookbook, but it has a typo. Her beef brisket recipe always wins rave reviews from our guests. And Martha's banana bread is an old standby.
poulet at 5:09PM on 12/25/07
No, never . . . although somehow I do have one of her cookbooks in the house.
Mizbee at 6:09PM on 12/25/07

rosemary shortbread cookies. pretty, pretty, pretty good.
dikaryon at 8:14PM on 12/25/07
the Sweet and Salty Cake from her TV show, but the recipe is actually from the bakery "Baked"
javal at 9:08PM on 12/25/07
The only Martha recipe I have or have made is the one for Chocolate-Espresso Snowcaps. Easy to make, VERY good espresso flavor, and not overly sweet. They were THE hit of the holiday cookie plates this year!
Curlz at 9:22PM on 12/25/07
chocolate chip cookies...good as any I have found
ghinson at 9:47PM on 12/25/07

I sure want to start!
ak3700 at 2:17AM on 12/26/07
when i first started Catering we lived and died by her Weddings book.... amazing at the time although it seems like both I and the rsst of the world has moved past her since then.
Lemoyne at 6:15AM on 12/26/07
A turkey, sugar cookies, cranberry shortbread, and assorted other cookies. They were all quite good.
mdv at 7:02AM on 12/26/07
Lots of her recipes - one of my favorites is a lemon polenta bread with pinenuts and fresh thyme. Sweet and savory all together. My husband likes these pork and chicken kebabs with garam masala and herbs, served on pita bread with mango chutney.
Tellicherry at 7:50AM on 12/26/07
Never tried but want to start!
mh330 at 8:10AM on 12/26/07

awinnerliveshere at 11:06AM on 12/26/07
i've made a few things from the everyday food magazine and those have turned out well.
feep at 11:14AM on 12/26/07
I make several of her Christmas cookie recipes every year -- this year included Black Forest Cookies which were amazing. I subscribe to Everyday Food and make about one recipe from every other issue - very few have been failures.
Toowylde at 11:55AM on 12/26/07
I made the pound cake from her baking handbook and the baking time was incorrect. The center was pure liquid, so I had to keeping it going until it was done properly. Usually her recipes are excellent - I've been using her books for 20+ years.
linda at 12:15PM on 12/26/07
I haven't yet but would love to have the book.
elaine nan at 12:23PM on 12/26/07

Never had, but will try in 2008 !
jsicolts at 12:52PM on 12/26/07
A wild mushroom and spinach lasagna. A true labor of love clocking in at nearly 2 hrs of prep time. But, I'm willing to try again!

kktwins at 1:35PM on 12/26/07
Friends and I combed through her books for my bridal shower and wedding. We wound up using more decorating ideas then recipes.
One of the recipes we did use was for chunky chicken fruit salad. I'm a big fruit fan, so I added a few more then listed, such as large ripe Michigan cherries! It was such a big hit that the bowl was wiped clean within thirty minutes!
kris_1492 at 1:41PM on 12/26/07

rrussou812 at 5:21PM on 12/26/07
I got a great recipe for a spinach and feta pie off one of her web sites, and I make it all the time for clients (I'm a personal chef). It also has a few eggs, parmesan and dill which makes for one tasty, savory pie, loaded with vitamins, too! Yum!
alixwall at 5:26PM on 12/26/07

naynays1 at 8:12PM on 12/26/07
Uh no! She scares me. She'd probably make a gingerbread jail if I screwed something up. Or maybe she'd make me wear one of those butt ugly gray ponchos. I'll stick to drive throughs.
ky2here at 8:23PM on 12/26/07
I made the Shrimp wrap with pancetta. It was yummy!
nimo1910 at 8:26PM on 12/26/07

redfuzzycow at 9:14PM on 12/26/07
i think the only recipe i've attempted in its entirety is almond macaroons (tasty!). i always refer to her recipes when developing my own though (ragu & potpie), they're good springboards.
tirinstar at 9:18PM on 12/26/07

I'm a huge fan of her Pumpkin Pecan-Praline Pie. It was a hit this Christmas :) I'm just a beginner, so I love getting new cookbooks to try out things. Please please pick me :)
defychaos at 4:06PM on 12/27/07
I made an applesauce that I found on her website. It was apple season up in Minnesota (I went to college up there, and there was a nice Orchard in town), and we would go pick apples every year. You end up with so many apples that you just don't know what to do with them all. We decided to make some applesauce, and I figured I might as well follow Martha's lead and do it up right. It worked pretty well, and was a lot easier than I expected from the queen of "good things."
dbrackst at 4:11PM on 12/27/07

LINDALSHOT at 4:25PM on 12/27/07

Teri at 8:11PM on 12/27/07
I swear by Martha Stewarts Sugar Cookies. They are the only ones I make during the holidays. I can spot a martha Stewart sugar cookie in a friend's plate of cookies a mile away. There is no comparison but you have to do the recipe exactly like she describes it on her site for the best quality. I'd LOVE this cookbook!
snorodent at 8:18PM on 12/27/07
Love Martha Stewart books! I've made her "All American Meatloaf", and it went over big in my house!

princess102 at 12:17AM on 12/28/07
I swear by her mac 'n' cheese -- meaning that of course I tweak it slightly, depending on what kind of cheese is in the house. Good chocolate cake, great chocolate frosting (Mrs. Millman's, I think), and wonderful checkerboard cookies. I've had a pretty fair amount of success with her recipes.
Julie at 12:18AM on 12/28/07
No, sorry I have never cooked anything by Martha.

I haven't cooked from her cookbooks yet but I have from her website :)
firerockss at 1:40AM on 12/28/07
No. But I'm not the cook in our house. My husband is.
Mom2Ways at 1:56AM on 12/28/07
Yes, lobster puffs..
dentondamsel at 2:27AM on 12/28/07
I've cooked a few of her recipes. My favorite is her Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies.
missmy808 at 2:47AM on 12/28/07
No, I have not tried cooking from her book yet. I would like to.
maggie0352 at 3:13AM on 12/28/07
I haven't tried any of her recipes that I can remember.

pamplemouse at 7:14AM on 12/28/07

malleycc at 7:57AM on 12/28/07
I haven't yet but willing to try
roseh at 9:32AM on 12/28/07
I made her turkey gravy, including giblet stock, on Christmas. Yum!
GildtheLily at 9:44AM on 12/28/07
No, but I would if I won her "The New Classics" cookbook.
sdeas at 9:52AM on 12/28/07
Not yet.
oneperfectegg at 10:19AM on 12/28/07
No, but I certainly will if I win the cookbook.
gjobanion at 10:27AM on 12/28/07
Never have. So if I win, it'll be a first.
wolff33166 at 11:33AM on 12/28/07
Not yet, but I'd love to use this cookbook as my first opportunity!
maryte at 11:50AM on 12/28/07
Martha has a peasant-y goulash dish that I make every year on Halloween called "Ghoul-ash". 5# beef chuck, 5# onions, broth and paprika; cooked all day, it melts down to simple red perfection. Serve over buttered noodles, with a dollop of sour cream. Our friends know to stop by our Halloween open house, and there isn't much of this stuff left at the end of the night. Making me hungry!
samralphroxy at 12:35PM on 12/28/07
Mmmmmmm... Martha
Ollyland at 12:56PM on 12/28/07
I have not cooked any Martha recipes, but I've always wanted too!
jenannschultz at 1:17PM on 12/28/07
Mom was a die-hard Martha fan, and had all her cookbooks and magazines. I copied many of "Mom's" recipes, that came from MS. She is gone now and I'd love to have a MS cookbook.
PerkyMac at 1:25PM on 12/28/07
I use the baking handbook quite often. I made the shortbread, chocolate chunk cookies, marble loaf cake, and most recently, the pistachio and cranberry biscotti.
erober01 at 1:29PM on 12/28/07
nope, never
vixita at 1:31PM on 12/28/07
I've cooked several of her recipes. My favorites are lemon chicken and goat cheese & olive tartlettes!
kschmic at 1:38PM on 12/28/07
not yet, but interested in trying them.
theolotto at 1:50PM on 12/28/07
I'll have to give this recipe a whirl. I recently tried another one that described itself as "a spicy sauce" that turned out to be irretrievably bland and watery.
ShadyCharacter at 2:00PM on 12/28/07
I made Martha's almond crescent cookies which were deliciously flaky. Her pie crust is my stand-by and has never failed me!
amychaos at 2:05PM on 12/28/07
not yet I did get a cook book for xmas though
trudee at 2:05PM on 12/28/07

sassysprite at 2:31PM on 12/28/07
Sorry to say, I haven't.
bfox74 at 3:04PM on 12/28/07
I'm sure I have, as they always sound good and I've bookmarked many from magazines and websites, but I can't think of exactly what I may have actually made.
erinh at 3:50PM on 12/28/07
Sorry , I am not much in the cooking dept.
vchrzanowski at 4:08PM on 12/28/07

earlybirdkate at 4:35PM on 12/28/07
I can't remember whether I've entered for this one, or the other one, but I made a delicious spinach and feta pie from one of her web sites.
alixwall at 4:49PM on 12/28/07
Nope, but I will when I win.
omnivore at 5:49PM on 12/28/07
No, nothing.
josiern at 5:58PM on 12/28/07
As a business teacher I admire her entrepreneurial spirit. As a Mom who loves to cook, I LOVE her holiday recipies. I come across like a professional when I haven't a clue.
teechbiz at 6:18PM on 12/28/07
No, I have not.

jspackman at 10:05PM on 12/28/07
I've never tried any of her recipes, but they sound delicious-I'd love to try some.
Jessilyn24 at 10:29PM on 12/28/07
Actually, I have never made a Martha Stewart recipe, but if I win the cookbook you can bet I will put it to good use! Thanks so much for the cool contest!
bndraldy at 10:44PM on 12/28/07
I rarely cook but am interested in trying. I have not tried one of Martha's recipes before but I understand that she's very good.
reallycool31 at 10:52PM on 12/28/07

I love Martha's baking recipes--her desserts are fabulous, especially everything out of her "Everyday Food" recipes.
tonks442 at 1:29PM on 12/29/07
Martha's "Severed Finger" cookies - totally goulish - the kids go crazy over them.

Hot Crab Dip, my father-in-law's favorite. The recipe came packaged in her Christmas Jazz Favorites CD.
m0pngl0w at 2:10PM on 12/29/07
I tried to make a chocolate cakes out of layers of crepes like she did on her show, but...well...I'm no Martha Stewart! I did however learn to soak chicken in buttermilk before frying and that has workd well for me. Happy New Year y'all!
Tangee43 at 2:21PM on 12/29/07
Soaking chicken parts in buttermilk before frying or sauteing makes it very moist, PLUMP and tender. I use to jot down recipes while watching her old TV show - favs that I remember are her Crab Cakes, Mac & Cheese and an odd sound (but very simple to make and delicious Pasta with Three Garlics (roasted, sauteed and a little raw - with parsley, olive oil and Parmesan cheese) - it tastes much better than it sounds! (If you love garlic...)
Salleefur at 2:42PM on 12/29/07
Simple syrup for lemonade.
marjeannie at 2:45PM on 12/29/07

I've received her magazine for years and have tried many recipes from it--cookies, meat and vegetable dishes.
artmarcia at 4:53PM on 12/30/07
I have made her coconut macaroons, garlic mashed potatoes, and mashed potatoes. The macaroons are the best I have ever tasted, and if you leave the nutmeg out of the mashed potatoes they are amazing!
marcicole at 5:02PM on 12/30/07
