About the author

Martha Helen Stewart is an American retail businesswoman, writer, and television personality. As the founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, focusing on home and hospitality, she gained success through a variety of business ventures, encompassing publishing, broadcasting, merchandising and e-commerce. She has written numerous bestselling books, was the publisher of Martha Stewart Living magazine and hosted two syndicated television programs: Martha Stewart Living, which ran from 1993 to 2004, and The Martha Stewart Show, which ran from 2005 to 2012.
In 2004, Stewart was convicted of felony charges related to the ImClone stock trading case; she served five months in federal prison for fraud and was released in March 2005. There was speculation that the incident would effectively end her media empire, but in 2005 Stewart began a comeback campaign and her company returned to profitability in 2006. Stewart rejoined the board of directors of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia in 2011 and became chairwoman of her namesake company again in 2012. The company was acquired by Sequential Brands in 2015. Sequential Brands Group agreed in April 2019 to sell Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, including the Emeril brand, to Marquee Brands for $175 million with benchmarked additional payments.

Reviews

[Sheila Metcalf · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have immense respect for Martha Stewart, but this cookbook surprisingly contains recipes that do not entirely align with the 'Quick' concept. I thoroughly appreciate the vibrant visuals and meticulously detailed recipes, yet unfortunately, many ingredients are exceedingly difficult to source. I found the pantry list to be a useful starting point, although it still does not entirely correspond with the staples typically found in today's kitchens.

I was actually surprised by this book, even though this is a book about quick cooking it still has many frou-frou recipes in it. I was hoping for a few more down to earth, basic recipes. It wasn't a complete loss I did find a couple of things to try.

Martha's usual, well written recipes. Clear instructions and descriptions. Not too many that I would actually cook though.
