Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook by Martha Stewart (2005)

I like this cookbook because I had wanted it for a while to use several of the recipies I had seen Martha make. In the stores, it just seemed overpriced and I never wanted to purchase it. But when I looked on eBay, I found a much better deal. I enjoy looking through this to find recipes for my family or quick and fun desserts. The only thing I don't like about some of the food is that it is a little unhealthy or uses too much oil, so I end up altering it.

If you love to bake or even just read about baking, this book is for you! The recipes are descriptive and easy to follow. The book is filled with wonderful photography of all the yummy things to make! I've given this to many brides as gifts too! Everything you'd expect and more from Martha!

I am trying to hone my baking skills This is very informative and I anticipate that I will use it a lot. This would be a great book for new bakers as is very descriptive and has lots of info for the new baker. Is just as informative for the baker that is very experienced.

LOVE ALL THE GRAPHICS AND CONTENTS ARE WONDERFUL. EXCELLENT - BOUGHT 2 THUS FAR, ONE FOR KEEPS, ONE FOR A GIFT! GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION!

Martha Stewart baking hand book is a wonderfull hard cover book great recipies with beautiful large pictures and easy step by step instructions. If you like to bake you will love this book, you will be the next door Martha Stewart !

Every Kitchen should have a copy of this book. Everything you need to know about baking, ingredients, tools etc., is all explained in a beautifully photographed book. I love it and reccommend it to all Moms and Dads in the kitchen!!

This book is very good,to help you with baking. I enjoy just looking at it. And baking some of the recipes.

I bought this book and immidiately fell in love with it.Greatly edited, beautiful pictures and first of all the first recepie went out perfect and then, all of them were exectly to my taste. It mademy life sweeter. Ewa

A friend of mine had received the Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook for Christmas. I quickly looked through the pages and was excited about what I saw. The price on the cover was over $30, I think closer to $35. What a better place than Ebay to see if I could purchase my own book for less, and indeed I did. I am excited about the book. It has new and different recipes than what you see in other cookbooks and the best part is there is always a page or two that correspond with the recipe as gives pointers and tips making it easier and quicker. My daughter loves to cook and try new things. I will look for another one for myself and give this one to my daughter for her birthday this February.

Great baking cookbook. Standard Martha which means quality, nice pictures, etc. Great gift book for a baker.

This is a good cookbook if you love baking. I did make one cookie recipe that had a problem, but I did my own twinking and the flavor was great. The cookie was Double-Chocolate Brownie Cookie. P.75 I am trying to get a response to this recipe from Martha Stewart or her staff, but they haven't replied. The dough is so thin you can't make balls of it so you have to add more flour. The recipe has so much good flavorI hope to get some help from them.
I bought my book because a friend had it and liked it also.

This book that I ordered arrived quicker than I had expected it too! Not only did it arrive timely, but was in excellent condition (in which that is what I expected). No hassles and was a completely stress free transaction. Thanks!

Excellent baking handbook, especially valuable to beginner bakers (such as myself). Martha not only offers you wonderful easty-to-follow recipes and gorgeous pictures, she also includes a glossary of what a serious-minded baker needs in her kitchen. Great wedding gift idea! I wish I had had this book in my younger years!

I am so glad that I got the book on ebay and even with postage I still got the book for half price shipped right to my door and didn't have to spend the gas to go to the bookstore in the next towns over. I love shopping on ebay and checking my mail I get surprises every day. It's fun,

We do alot of baking for our family and friends as well as SHARING baking days and sharing cookbooks amongst friends. I NEED TO SAY THAT this is the book that I get the most sharing requests for; it is the first book that everyone reaches for. It makes a great gift for anyone you know that loves to cook. This book is a MUST HAVE ON OUR LISTS!

This book contains all of the recipes compiled by Martha and people who have worked for her over the years. The recipes are of favorite baked dishes that the 'team' have enjoyed in their travels, not just those created by Martha. They are all delicious!!!

The book also contains great information about cooking utensils and ingredients. It's a must have for those who love elaborate desserts and don't mind spending the time to make them.

No one can do it better than Marta Stewart. Where does this lady get all her knowledge? My husband says thats why shes rich she pays people to research and make these things with her picture on them. But i say oh well. Everything she bakes and cooks comes out perfect. I always say im going to do it like Martha Stewart. When im in the kitchen he refers to me as Martha. Last year for Christmas he got me an aprin that says im Martha's Twin. I love this book! Recipes and pictures are perfect!!

I really like this book because it is easy to use, there are photos accompanying many of the items and the main reason is because it's written by Martha Stewart. I needed to learn how to bake and this book serves as a valuable resource for the novice and advanced baker. There are many others on the market by well-known chefs, but Martha's books always surpass them. If you need a baking book, this is the one. Whether you need an ornate dessert for a party, or just a really good chocolate cake for yourself, this book has it all. Plan to keep it a while. It will become a good friend.

I really was excited to receive this book! I had seen it on Martha's TV program and I new I had to have it! The is the how to book that shows you everything you need to know in the kitchen that your grandmother never showed you! The kitchen secrets are now at our finger tips! From how to make a simple meal with amazing flavor that will make everyone think you spent the whole day working on!! I made some the of desserts in this book and took them them to work, the results were SMASHING! Some of my co-works thought I had been taking some cooking classes! Fooled them! Her steps are easy to follow. The pictures are first class. If you ever thought about getting this book or you just LOVE MARTHA, GET THIS! You will not regret it! This is perfect for the working mom,like me, you do not need to spend hours in the kitchen to keep everyone coming back to table! Once they try the recipes from this amazing book they will ask what is for dinner tomorrow!

I love Martha Stewart and I love to bake. I took this book out of the library and planned to write down favorite recipes. I found that there were way too many in the book to write down and knew I had to have the book for myself. I got busy looking on Ebay and as always, got a good deal on one. It came quickly and is in great shape; almost like new. I know if I were to purchase the book new, I would not be able to afford it.

I love the wonderful photographs in this book.I have made at least twelve of the recipes already and each one is perfectly wonderful.The greatest part about this book that sets it high above her other cooking books is that it is a lot more down to earth with the choices of recipes.But then,Martha is too....so..you should really enjoy this book!!!!! I have bought four as christmas gifts myself....susan
