A new Review for Stir, Laugh, Repeat!

Cooking is Personal, February 27, 2010 By G. McDowell (NE) (REAL NAME) Cooking is personal to me. That is why I find this little cookbook so intriguing. The book is small in stature so I can slip it into my purse and thumb through it while I am “waiting.” The book is “large” in quick recipes that can be completed with items “on hand.” Martha completes the book with side notes so you have the feeling you are talking to her over a cup of coffee. Who does not like to share quick tips to make an everyday task…cooking…a little more personal. Martha I like your idea of “muffin” meatloaf…my grand daughters will love it!

A must read Review of Stir, Laugh, Repeat

Rita Freud “book gal” (NJ) Step into your kitchen, cook “from scratch” and end up with a tasty dish to place before friends and family, that is assuming you have brought “Stir, Laugh, Repeat” with you. Tuck it under your apron. This way instead of Martha A. Cheves (the author), you get all the credit. Don’t forget to dab your brow a bit to make it look like you have labored away to create this delicious meal. It’s hard to say what I like the most about this book – the “dinner’s ready” easy recipes, the anecdotes about each recipe or the tidbits of useful information. Each is served up with straightforward charm. All I know is that every time I open it to select something to make, I find myself reading page after page and smiling. The recipes are easy to follow. The anecdotes and tips make you feel like you have a friend in the kitchen with you, just chatting about cooking, offering some advice while you prepare a dish. My favorite kind of cookbook is a cookbook that tells how each recipe came to be and how it was enjoyed, or in some cases, adjusted. Martha’s book is already a favorite of mine. I have a cautionary tale though. I have to accept that if I make Martha’s scrumptious coconut loaf cake every week, there are consequences. In that case, I would have to stir, laugh, repeat, and do some extra sit ups.

Stir, Laugh, Repeat Review

I’m so tickled with this review for my cookbook Stir, Laugh, Repeat that I had to share with everyone. This was written by one of Amazon’s top reviewers. The recipes in this book are the treasured kind of American home cooking you find in regional church cookbooks. (Artichoke chicken, fried pickles, chikin’n'dumplins, chicken-fried beef tips.) Note; not diet food. But these are great for covered-dish events or when nothing but “mommy-food” will soothe your jagged nerves. The humor is genuine, the anecdotes are fun (my fave, using horse corn to make creamed corn.) This book could be your secret recipe horde to impress the potluck crowd. Joanna Daneman
