Amazon.com: The Martha Stewart Holiday Collection: Martha's Classic Thanksgiving is a most pleasant and entertaining way to find inspiration for a Thanksgiving less ordinary. Taken from past episodes of Stewart's television programs, Classic Thanksgiving presents five ways to cook a turkey, beginning with "Turkey 101," in which Martha prepares a fairly traditional meal while revealing the story of her Thanksgiving from Hell. (Her soon-to-be-ex-husband set the oven on broil and inserted the soon-to-be-unrecognizable bird.) Other shows focus on a rotisserie-baked turkey, a deep-fried turkey (with Creole spices), a boned, broiled, and rolled turkey (very nifty), and most provocative of all, a "black-lacquered" turkey, in which one of Stewart's bankers--who knows exactly two dinner recipes and is so naive in the kitchen she calls a grater a "scraping thing"—demonstrates how a turkey browns beautifully beneath a paste of yummy ingredients that blacken in the heat.
Also on the disc are guides for making several fantastic stuffing dishes, the most dazzling of all a pumpkin challah bread stuffing and a fruit-and-nut stuffing recipe that begins with the soaking of apricots and prunes in bourbon--and just gets better from there. Side dishes include a mouth-watering garlic-horseradish mashed potato dish, and the fascinating "Native American Succotash," a brilliantly colored dish that requires little but veggies themselves. As for desserts: the rustic apple tarts are spectacular and look easy to make in Stewart's kitchen, but the cranberry-pistachio biscotti could be enough to make a grown man weep. There are sections, too, on settings and centerpieces (the gourd candle holders sound silly but look great) as well as kids' crafts. Fun to watch, learn from, or just dream by, The Martha Stewart Holiday Collection: Martha's Classic Thanksgiving is a good thing. --Tom Keogh
Not useful This had nothing I could use. The decorations were juvenile and the recipes could be obtained anywhere.
Haha Martha Stewart with a powerdrill! Haha! I doubt I would attempt to pull off half the stuff she does! She rocks!
Martha's Thanksgiving I loved this DVD. I have made so many of the recipes. It is very user-friendly on the computer, as well.
One of the Martha Stewart Living DVD Collection Easy to navigate and well thought out segments. Some will be duplicates because it is not possible to separate turkey, and stuffing, cooking tips.
What makes this series so good is this that is where Martha started out and where she excels so well. She not only describes her favorites and reveals her secrets; she also has guests with uniquely different ideas about the Thanksgiving meal.
Under Classic Thanksgiving we have: Turkey five ways Best Stuffings Favorite Side Dishes Special Deserts Table Settings and Decorating Kids Thanksgiving Crafts
Somehow she was able to miss my favorite cornbread stuffing. But we can't stuff everything on one DVD now can we. It is also interesting to see how easy Martha handles raw turkeys.
Under printouts the instructions are to view this material please place this disc into a computer with a DVD-Rom Drive and internet connection or go to www.Marnastwwart.com/dvd. Both worked for me. I can not see how anyone can live today without a DVD-Rom.
