Cook the Book: 'Martha Stewart's Cooking School'
Words by Michele Humes | Martha Stewart doesn't do things in half measures. Whether it's cookies or canapés, Stewart aims to be comprehensive and definitive. (She succeeds—I consider her Hors d'Oeuvres Handbook to be the font of all finger-food knowledge.)
Her latest enterprise, Martha Stewart's Cooking School, is downright encyclopedic. Only Martha could pull off a textbook that looks like a glossy magazine and reads like a conversation. And what a conversation. In this book, you'll learn how to sharpen a knife, make fresh pasta, identify cuts of meat, and master the soufflé. The book stays current by supplementing the traditional French curriculum with American and international flavors: There are detailed guides to Indian and Southeast Asian spices, dashi gets equal billing with classic French stocks, and the Great American Hamburger has its very own section.
Each day this week, we'll be posting a classic recipe that will stand you in good stead this Thanksgiving. Perfect Turkey Gravy, Garlic Rosemary Mashed Potatoes, and One-Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes aren't going to blow you away with innovative flavor combinations—the wow factor is in the flawless technique.

miamia at 2:41PM on 11/17/08
I love all the Christmas cookie recipes - especially the shortbreads!
amwhiteh at 2:42PM on 11/17/08
Every day food has this one which is Parmesean, parsley, and lemon zest tucked within a chicken breast. I have never seen someone not pick it clean.
Pezdro at 2:43PM on 11/17/08
hmm... definitely the chocolate brownies from her Baking Handbook. I go back to them time and time again!
TheDistrictDomestic at 2:48PM on 11/17/08

Mint chocolate brownies from Everyday Baking. They're life-changing, and I'm not even the biggest fan of brownies!
perfunctory at 3:04PM on 11/17/08

Sigilum at 3:20PM on 11/17/08
I absolutley LOVED her article on Buckles, Grunts, Crisps and Cobblers. Her Berry Grunt is divine!
joelleee31 at 3:21PM on 11/17/08
Pumpkin cookies with brown butter icing...I saw this recipe a few years ago and make them every Halloween. Always a hit at the office.
hungrybito at 3:21PM on 11/17/08
Okay, let me admit that I've never been a Martha fan, personality-wise. But I'm willing to change.
On the other hand, there was a cookie recipe that was mentioned somewhere, and I looked it up and it was on Martha's website. And it was, indeed good. No clue at the moment what it was, but I'm sure it will surface again as I start making more cookies for the holidays and after.
Mmmmmmm....cookies.......
dbcurrie at 3:22PM on 11/17/08
I think it's more of a trick than a recipe, but soaking 4 layers of cheesecloth in butter and white wine and covering the turkey with it before roasting. My husband and I did it last year for our first thanksgiving, and it came out perfectly brown and wonderful! :)
Steffie100 at 3:25PM on 11/17/08
Her mac and cheese is the only recipe for mac and cheese that I like.
daisy at 3:27PM on 11/17/08
Duck matzoh ball soup
DrLiebes at 3:29PM on 11/17/08
Can I have two? Her meatloaf and her Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread cookies. I haven't tried her mac and cheese yet, but judging by the number enthusiastic votes for it, I will make an effort to try it very soon!
Jeana at 3:31PM on 11/17/08
Love her recipe for Boston Cream Pie
karen r at 3:31PM on 11/17/08
She had a segment a few years back where she made a New York Crumb cake and it is delicious.

Martha's coconut layer cake with coconut cream and vanilla buttercream frosting.
arbela at 3:41PM on 11/17/08
I believe it's chocolate gingersnaps. It's a must when Christmas rolls around.
LttlMichey at 3:43PM on 11/17/08
Awesome macaroni and cheese. More recently, last month's Everyday Food has a great Coconut Custard Pie.
bobcatsteph3 at 3:45PM on 11/17/08
Gorgonzola pasta
saraann at 3:46PM on 11/17/08

Strawberry shortcakes with vanilla bean whipped cream!
williaka at 3:51PM on 11/17/08
She taught me how to make pie come out flakier than previously. I could always get my top crust to come out, but the bottom crust was always soft. Not I make a killer pie!
julianne530 at 3:53PM on 11/17/08
a spinach-feta pie on her website. i make it all the time.
alixwall at 3:54PM on 11/17/08

Pear and dried cherry pie
LindaY at 3:59PM on 11/17/08
Another vote for mac and cheese.
clbeth at 4:00PM on 11/17/08
It would have to be something from Everyday Food -- Cheesy Hash Brown Bake. My whole family loves it.
IndyGal at 4:03PM on 11/17/08
This would be my first Martha cookbook, although I do watch her show. A couple of weeks ago she did a nice demo on how the cut up a chicken and then created a wonderful rustic roast chicken dish.
fangirl at 4:03PM on 11/17/08
She has a recipe for rosemary pine nut cookies I have made the last few years, they are DELICOUS
gibbylet at 4:05PM on 11/17/08
One more for Mac and Cheese!
daveg227 at 4:08PM on 11/17/08
Everyday Food's Easy Eggs Florentine with Goat Cheese is my latest go-to recipe.

Every cookie recipe I've ever tried, especially the cinnamon spritz!

Add me to the mac & cheese fan club!
drew13000 at 4:24PM on 11/17/08
I don't think I've been disappointed by any of her recipes that I've tried. I love her mac & cheese, I bought a potato ricer because of her mashed potato episode, and, oh god, I can't believe I'm going to admit this, but I learned a lot about making fried chicken at home from her Mahogany Chicken episode.
wookie at 4:24PM on 11/17/08
mac and cheese! yum :)
Aclunney at 4:26PM on 11/17/08
I love the mac & cheese as well, mmm and lemon pound cake. I will tell you one to avoid, Edamame soup... yikes, not good. But its from Everyday Food so its probably not 'Martha tested'.
foodandscience at 4:28PM on 11/17/08
I love her chocolate pecan pie!
nikkit20 at 4:35PM on 11/17/08
Definitely the mac 'n' cheese.
francie at 4:41PM on 11/17/08
While the mac and cheese recipe is definitely a keeper- I really love her cookies- particularly the Christmas biscotti recipes, Madellines, even her Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe for Alexis
Aerin813 at 4:42PM on 11/17/08
Meat Loaf 101 from her magazine many years ago. It's the only meat loaf I'll bother to eat.
Babzee at 4:45PM on 11/17/08
In one of her Christmas cookie magazine editions, there is an amazing recipe for Nutella thumbprint cookies...I make them every year and everyone always loves them!

For the baker in me, I love her snickerdoodles... for my husband, the comfort food fanatic, it's definitely her mac 'n cheese.
PinkCupcake at 4:58PM on 11/17/08
soda biscuits!
tortor at 5:08PM on 11/17/08
My favourite crazy thing that she did was on her show at least ten years ago - I would never make it but it cemented by love of Martha. She took tiny flowers and with a paintbrush coated them in egg white, and then dusted them with super fine sugar, for decoration. It was such an insane thing to do that I couldn't help but appreciate her.
I do use her snickerdoodle recipe, among others. Her comfort cooking book from the late 90s is still one I cook from. Crazy as she may be (and that's why I love her), she sure does know food!
Peasantwench at 5:10PM on 11/17/08
In my house we use her sugar cookie recipe every christmaPr
peanutbutterpleaser at 5:13PM on 11/17/08
Her christmas edition of the mag is the best! I've used it for perfect roast beef and yorkshire puddinPr
denvergal at 5:18PM on 11/17/08
Her macaroni and cheese is my pick for the divine (and pricey, natch).
bundren at 5:22PM on 11/17/08
her mac n' cheese and turkey burgers, yum!
elsac at 5:25PM on 11/17/08
I like "John Barricelli's Carrot Cake" from the Martha Stewart Show in 2005. It's great to bring to the office.

coconut macaroons. works every time.
practicallydone at 5:34PM on 11/17/08
Any of her dips are great (I do especially like the spicy red pepper and walnut), but the "most Martha" part is the hollowing out of the purple cabbage and multi-colored peppers for display!
Mizbee at 5:36PM on 11/17/08
Her pate brisee can be used for a million different things.

Piecrust - it's the best! I love many, many others of her recipes, so many that i couldn't list them all!
dettling05 at 6:23PM on 11/17/08
Garlic Rosemary Mashed Potatoes sounds yummy. I grow my own rosemary and garlic and love finding new ways to use them.
CarolHarrity at 6:27PM on 11/17/08
Her perfect pie crust and garlic mashed potatoes. Love Martha!!

Roasted Root Veggies, Polenta, Ginger Snaps and Pear Milk. Out of this world fall menu. In the summer my favorite is her Tuscan Tomato Soup from her big green Martha Stewart Cookbook

The Outrageous Chocolate Cookies from Everyday Food, Sept 2003 - probably the best double chocolate cookie recipes ever!
clrodger at 7:09PM on 11/17/08
I have made her Mac & Cheese a few times its pretty good.
joanpieroni2 at 7:09PM on 11/17/08

Her chocolate cake (with peanut butter icing). I don't care for the icing, but it's the best darn chocolate cake I've ever had.
fetacrackwhore at 8:25PM on 11/17/08
I have yet to find a better shortbread recipe....but I haven't ever tried the famous mac & cheese everyone seems to be in on. This is the first time since elementary school that I've heard mac & cheese hyped up to this extent - I'll definitely have to try it!
miso at 8:32PM on 11/17/08
So many people like her Macaroni and Cheese. So do I!
eileen216 at 8:32PM on 11/17/08

Mac and cheese please.
madball911 at 9:14PM on 11/17/08
Though I've never tried a bad dessert recipe from Martha, I must say that her beer braised beef (try saying 3 times fast!) is exceptional!
shalomblack at 9:43PM on 11/17/08
I've made many of Martha's recipes, but one that is "the most fun" is Severed Fingers -- a cookie for Halloween that is rather starteling when first seen.
BostonDiner at 9:49PM on 11/17/08
Banana Bread from her baking book. With chocolate and coconut added. My favorite banana bread!
lucylucy at 10:06PM on 11/17/08
Oatmeal raisin cookies. Everyone raves about the chocolate chip, but I'm more of an oatmeal girl.

ConschBTJ at 10:28PM on 11/17/08
I've never made her mac and cheese, but apparently, after reading these comments, I definitely have to! I vote for the white cake cupcakes with strawberry buttercream from the baking handbook. Yum!

musicalpandibear at 11:24PM on 11/17/08
My favorite Martha Stewart recipe is a new take on my favorite comfort food, Mashed Potatoes with Golden Onions and Roquefort.
sito50 at 11:28PM on 11/17/08
I know a million folks have already said it, but there's a really good reason...
Mac and Cheese!!! (it's the BEST!)
supersissy at 11:37PM on 11/17/08
My favorite is the Cream Cheese Pound Cake made in her scored tube cake pan (no longer available . . . I bought two and loan them out to friends) from K-Mart. A simple, easy to make, moist pound cake that is wonderful alone or with fruit on the side. Freezes well and is great toasted. One Christmas I made 28 to give as gifts for family and friends. People still request it as a gift or as a take along for parties.
OneFineGay at 11:39PM on 11/17/08
Her onion soup - she makes the wonderful beef broth from scratch, starting with the roasted bones. Martha was the first one who showed me you needed to roast the bones first for a nice rich beef stock.
hungryengineer at 12:06AM on 11/18/08
Her pie dough recipe!
rffoodie at 12:15AM on 11/18/08

The Garlic Rosemary Mashed Potatoes are wonderful.

In the 1980s, Martha Stewart had a beautiful menus cookbook, the name of which escapes me. It was filled with lots of beauty shots and great recipes, including her buttermilk fried chicken. But my favorite recipe of hers, found in that book, was a salad composed of avocados drenched in a warm tomato dressing. So delicious! Unfortunately, that cookbook is at my mom's house and we constantly tussle over who should have it (she, who does not cook regularly, or me, who does).
ColoradoChic at 7:05AM on 11/18/08
Because I'm Polish like Martha, I like her recipe for pierogi. Also I use her popover recipe as well.
Teeeveee at 7:53AM on 11/18/08
Several years ago, I followed her recipe for the perfect Thanksgiving turkey. It involved using a cheesecloth. It was the first Thanksgiving I had ever hosted for my family. My mom cried because of how great everything turned out for my first time. I had very little leftovers :)

Martha Stewart's Pumpkin Whoopie Pies were outstanding! In addition, I also used her turkey recipe that includes draping a turkey with a wine/butter-soaked cheesecloth and--although it was an intensive process--it produced amazing results.
mjohnson105 at 9:16AM on 11/18/08
She has a really easy and delicious Asian salmon recipe that I can't get enough of.
abs294 at 9:18AM on 11/18/08
Spinach and cheese puff. No problems getting everyone to eat their spinach with this one.
Marilouise at 9:27AM on 11/18/08
Her Mile High Apple Pie, I've been making it for years now for Thanksgiving.
trishden at 9:53AM on 11/18/08
Her asparagus-gruyere tart using frozen puff pastry.
CheesePlease at 10:20AM on 11/18/08
My favorite Martha Stewart recipe is her Roasted Turkey recipe, where she uses the cheesecloth while cooking the bird. I've never had as crisp and light turkey skin (which I don't eat, but still...) and moist meat. Thanks for the chance to win.

I made my first pie using her pie crust recipe so I would say that one, but I have to say, I love that you can take any of her recipes and it will work.
edeliz at 10:45AM on 11/18/08
Years ago I watched Martha make some Whoopie Pies on her show and I was sold. I now make them for special occasions for my kids and they LOVE them. Gotta love Martha!
impnpixie at 10:47AM on 11/18/08

idahomom at 10:52AM on 11/18/08

Her one-bowl chocolate cake never misses! Her Mac & Cheese is a close second, and so are her Lime Melt-Aways.

Lamb pita pizza from Everyday Food. Possibly the highest rate of return in taste for time I've ever managed.

nichole at 1:56PM on 11/18/08
So... I don't actually know if I've made a Martha recipe before because I get a lot of my recipes from other people, some of whom might have gotten them from her. BUT, some bakers from my town were on her show and they make darn good cupcakes.
OH! But I just remembered we made the roast chicken and potatoes recipe that Jean-Georges made on her show. Does that count?

My favorite is actually this one - I've been using it for years for cupcakes and topping it with everything from quick icings to swiss buttercreams to coconut buttercreams and whipped chocolate ganaches. Ummmm. Now I want cupcakes again. :)
mckaig at 3:31PM on 11/18/08

angfarrell at 4:21PM on 11/18/08
I'm having a hard time deciding on just one Martha recipe - I'm a longtime fan. Her mother's recipe for Pecan Pie is the one I make most often - it's frequently requested by friends and family, and is a must serve or bring for the holidays. And her mom's Polish Mushroom Soup tastes just like my grandmother used to make.
MMinNYC at 4:21PM on 11/18/08
Her brownies are pretty great.
pfibiger at 4:25PM on 11/18/08
Martha's simple tomato soup with parmesan croutons. It is my go-to soup recipe that never fails to disappoint.
sheldel at 4:27PM on 11/18/08

alycep06 at 5:47PM on 11/18/08
Ditto on mac & cheese.
brooklynchower at 5:48PM on 11/18/08
The traditional apple pie recipe is the best- the crust always comes out perfectly and the filling is delicious!
ariels at 5:49PM on 11/18/08
I agree that Martha's hors d'oeuvres recipes are amazing. I especially love making her leek and olive tart with two cheeses; whether it's for breakfast, a snack, or an appetizer, it's bound to please.
rxjbrowniee at 6:02PM on 11/18/08
I make the kolacki cookie and krusciki every Christmas. They are at the top of the list for our family christmas dinner

Although I grew up on Betty Crocker's recipe for Chocolate Crinkles, I fell in love with Martha's version called Crackles (I keep the old name though, I like it better). What makes it wonderful is the classic Martha touches - a more precise procedure, better quality chocolate, etc. These cookies are wonderful and a huge crowd pleaser!
bluberryfields3 at 8:01PM on 11/18/08
Crumb cake. The "New York style" one with tons of butter and that really yummy crumb topping....

Coconut cream pie. It is as close to perfection as one can get.

Martha's Brick-Pressed Sandwich is a delicious, quasi-muffaletta... Thanks to Geoff's mom for bringing it to tailgates. That sandwich was a small piece of civility in a sea of sweatshirts and light beer.

My favorite Martha Stewart recipe is Muesli Muffins from her June 2006 Martha Stewart Living Magazine. You can make them for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even a snack and you'll never get tired of them. With the taste of applesauce and bananas its an all-time favorite with my niece and nephews.

I made the Blackberry Peach Trifle one summer for a teachers' picnic; the picnic was held a couple of blocks away from my apartment, so I made an elaborate foil-swan-like topping to shield the trifle from the rain and walked (to the delight of onlookers) over to the party...where I knew absolutely no one and was a new teacher, to boot.
To make a long story short, my colleagues went nuts over the trifle, and it was a great icebreaker. (Apparently I'd found my niche, since I approached every school-related baking activity after that as though it were tryouts for Top Chef.) :) But I still have a soft spot in my heart for those colorful layers of the trifle.

I'm willing to be a MS convert but thus far I've only followed her "Martha Stewart Coca Cola Ham" recipe. Gotta admit it was good, easy, and a hit on the table. It's become a "go-to" ham recipe for me. I have to be convinced to try something else.
