 If you have the patience and time . . . August 7, 2007

As will all Martha tomes, this book delights the reader with glossy color photography of all sorts of yummy comfort food, with an emphasis on texture.
As a rule of thumb, any recipe that contains more than 7 ingerdients is prepared only once. More than a few of the recipes in this book have close to, and in excess of, 20 ingredients. Still, in its pages, are the simpler recipes and a few cooking/baking tips.
Check out this one from a library before committing to even buying a good used copy.

Although there are a lot of comfort food recipes in the book none of the ones I've tried have worked out well.
 Comfort foods = fonds memories of being a kid! November 3, 2005
This cookbook reminds you of when food preparation was king & did not include pouring the ingredients from a box & adding water. Martha's recipes for macaroni & cheese, the perfect grilled cheese sandwich, shepherd's pie, caramel pots de creme or creamy rice pudding with caramelized bananas inspire fond memories.
This is a great cookbook to awaken young cooks & prepare them for living on their own. Growing up in the 70s my mother taught me how to cook from a cookbook at the early age of 8. The recipes in this book remind me of the ones I practiced for my family from the Betty Crocker cookbook I grew up with. My sister & I are both great cooks now & have a close bond with my mother from the time we spent with her in the kitchen, especially at the holidays.
There will be times when a quick meal is all you have time for, but find the time to create some of these homemade comfort foods & remember what enjoying a home cooked meal is about! That's the stuff that memories are made of!

First of all....i have never made a Martha Stewart Recipe that does not have a thousand ingredients! (other than the Everyday Food Magazine which I LOVE!), so....as some of the reviewers have stated yes there are many ingredients, BUT the end results are well worth the time and effort it takes to go get quality ingredients to make more than excellent food! The macoroni and cheese! (if made the way the direction call and ingredients stated can not be anything but delicious!) AND we use the pancake and waffle recipes constantly! My 4 year old who said yesterday i don't like waffles (because we've been having pancakes)ate them all day long!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything i have tried from this book has been VERY well eaten! I would recommend this over any of the other Martha Stewart Cookbooks i have! And yes it is small, but....packed with great comfort food as stated!
Perfect (almost)... November 11, 2003

My mother bought this book and I ended up receiving it due to my not-so-surreptitious glances and its frequent disappearances from the shelf.
This book is a repository of the most classic and tempting foods I can imagine. They are presented with the Martha Stewart Living twist. For example, although I was curious to try the macaroni and cheese (Sharp white cheddar plus Gruyere? Hmmm...) this dish has become frequently requested and often talked about. Now onto the potato dishes and beyond!
I phrase my only complaint as a warning: if a reader attempts to make certain recipes from scratch beginning to end, be prepared to spend some time :)!
Thanks for reading.
