I ordered myself a copy of the new book, Martha Stewart’s Cooking School: Lessons and Recipes for the Home Cook
frm Amazon last night. Martha’s been talking it up a lot on her show (and on other people’s shows), and it looks like a really good book. But shesh, it’s forty-five bucks in the stores…why do brick & mortar bookstores no longer discount like they used to? You can buy a decent set of bamboo shades for what that book costs at full price! That’s why I went with Amazon…it’s just under $30.00 there, with free shipping.
It will be interesting to see how this all-emcompassing “how to cook” book compares with another such book…The Way to Cook
by Julia Child. I’ve always considered Julia’s book to be the gold standard, it’s always the one I say to get if you could only have one cookbook. I don’t know if Martha will be able to dethrone Julia, at least not in my eyes, but from what I’ve heard about this new book, she may come pretty close.
We shall see. I will write a review of the book when I get it and have had time to look at it and try some of the recipes.
