Another Great Review for Stir, Laugh, Repeat



Jeannie Walker

My review: 5 Stars
Cooking: It is something we all have to do from time to time. So why not find joy while playing around in the kitchen? I loved how Martha starts out her old-fashioned cook book with a recipe for banana puddin. This of my favorite desserts that brings back so many good memories. Scattered about this wonderful cook book are tips that will help anyone (especially a beginner) cook fabulous dishes. This is one book that you will use and want to pass on to your future generations. Reading this was a sweet way to end my day. Thanks Martha - I love your suggestions, tips and factual information that we all can use.

Yet Another Review for Stir, Laugh, Repeat!

Banana Pudding!

21 Nov Banana Pudding is the first recipe I got to preview in this great cookbook. I am drooling with the idea of cooking some banana pudding right now. The book is titled “Stir, Laugh, Repeat” by Martha Cheves. What I love about this book is it has clever tips with the recipes on how to do things like peel a ornery egg or using seasoned stuffing mix instead of bread crumbs for meatloaf. As a vegetarian I love to make faux foods like soyloaf, using soyrizo instead of meat. It’s such a clever idea to add seasoned stuffing instead.
Check out Martha’s book here: http://www.amazon.com/Stir-Laugh-Repeat-Martha-Cheves/dp/1604628189/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t/177-7096573-5175849
It’s the season for cooking, so this would be a great time to buy this book for yourself or a friend.

Stir, Laugh, Repeat - New Review!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A delight, December 11, 2011

This review is from: Stir, Laugh, Repeat:  (Kindle Edition)
My wife and I were vacationing in the Hudson Valley recently and stopped at a quintessential northeastern town for lunch. Afterwards we browsed an antique store where we bought a very old and heavy wooden rolling pin. I thought at the time, what fascinating stories and recipes this antique must hold. Now I've some idea. "Stir, Laugh, Repeat" is a cookbook that delivers not only delicious snacks, meals and desserts, but stories behind them--real life events that contribute as much to the experience of preparing the meals as the recipes themselves. Martha Cheves has a refreshing sense of humor, a sweet lady--like having a favorite relative in the kitchen advising you. ("Chuck's Fruit Salad" is a quick fix and a favorite). "Stir, Lauch, Repeat" would make a nice stocking stuffer for anyone you know who'd enjoy a warm and friendly hand in the kitchen.
