Guilty Pleasure – Martha Stewart
Jan 1st, 2009 Posted in Books, cookies, crafting | no comment »I won’t deny it. I really like Martha Stewart but only in bite sized portions. I do watch her show but only when there is something of interest on. (Like making truffles. Just don’t try making them when its hot out and no air conditioning. But they still came out yummy.) I do buy her magazine, but only the main one (Living), and only when there is something that looks cool inside now.
Martha Stewart and her staff are extremely talented and creative people. Practicing full Martha Stewart lifestyle would drive me batty but she (and the rest of her team) are a great source for inspiration. If she can’t do it, she is smart enough to have folks around her that can. The recipes are really great. I have never had one fail on me yet and The Martha Stewart Cookbook: Collected Recipes for Every Day is a staple in my kitchen (and looks as if its been though battle several times). It was a wedding shower gift and one of the most useful ones I got. I try to give it as a shower gift when the couple is just starting out on their own since the there are some great, basic recipes and some very advanced ones as well.
Martha Stewart’s web site is also a great resource for all kinds of cool stuff. There are recipes, decorating tips, crafting ideas, party planning tools and much more. The directions are well written and the pictures are helpful. Some of the comments from users are just as good as well. If you’re looking for good ideas, she’s the woman to go to and a good resource to keep at your fingers.
