Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very good book!
It's a great book!! Fancy recipes, in a easy language (I'm brazilian, so...), I'm very satisfied! I did a lot of recipes and they're delicious!!
In the end of the book, there are tips, like how to do tomato sauce, a basic risotto and others. Very nice!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not for the novice, but OK
This cookbook is not for the novice because some of the recipes could require knowledge of basic to intermediate techniques. However, if a cook has been cooking for a while, then the recipes in this book could be inspiring.

Note: There are not photos for every single recipe but enough photos to inspire. So, if you need many photos, then this book may dissapoint. Also, the title is deceiving because I found some of the recipes to not be very QUICK!

NOTE: Some of the recipes require using ingredients that most people might find "non-standard". In other words, some of the ingredients require a more advanced palate because they are not your average store-bought (and easy to find) supermarket ingredient. Example, not everybody likes watercress and radicchio or arugula---an acquired taste.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great reading for anybody!
I bought this book as a little gift for a friend who was in the hospital. The book is not as big as the Martha Stewart Christmas book that I had previously ordered which I loved. However, the pictures are great and the overall layout makes reading it a lot of fun. As always, Martha has a wonderful flair for making cookbooks enjoyable reading even if you never try any of the recipes.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - This Delivers
Most people think it is impossible to deliver on a weeknight a dinner that is elegant, healthy and quick. This book makes the impossible quite possible.

The only reason I've nicked it a star is that for some, a cookbook titled "healthy" requires nutritional data, which this does not have, and quick in this instance sometimes means more simple than last-minute preparation. MS makes a case for not including the read-outs, about learning to fly without training wheels (sorry about the mixed metaphors). As for the simple vs. last-minute, a case in point: the wild rice pilaf with dried fruit is elegant and very easy to prepare, but it does require cooking the wild rice ahead and setting it aside. If you start an hour before dinner is to be served, no problem; in fact, starting the wild rice that early leaves you quite a bit of time to throw in a load of laundry or complete other chores before you pull together the rest of the recipe in the last 10 minutes.

I've never had a problem with a MS recipe. Things always cook up in the allotted time, they always make the proposed quantity, they brown as they're supposed to, rise as they're supposed to . . . The charge has been made by another reviewer that dishes are underseasoned or bland. I suspect that is because the MS style is to emphasize the natural flavor of the basic ingredients. A lot depends, then, on the integrity of the ingredient.
