Martha is fantastic This is the Martha we all know and love. I really miss the old show format...the live show is great and spontaneous, but I really miss the practical and entertaining segments that I have saved on VHS and DVD for the last 12-13 years.
Cookie fun 101 It seems that this was the perfect time of the year to send out this DVD of cookie fun and magic!! Though the recipes on this DVD aren't limited just to the holidays, since it's almost December, nothing seems quite as Christmas-y in preparing for this wonderful holiday, than by baking up batches of some of the best cookies that you can think of, courtesy of Martha.
You are given 33 delicious cookie recipes that will cover the range of goodies that everyone will enjoy. As with all Martha's DVD's to date, they are taken from her former TV show segments, where you receive that one-on-one instruction from her beautiful kitchen. The colors are soft but vivid, and the sound quality is crystal clear per usual Martha standards of perfection. And as always, she gives recipe detail and attention to help you create these delicious sweets.
On top of the segments, you also have the always present option of downloading the actual recipes themselves as a hardcopy. It's a lovely compilation of all the recipes that you've seen in Martha's books and magazines, all in DVD format, so how much easier can it get? Naturally, there are other cookies that she has done throughout her former TV show, but these are the tastiest and the best that our Martha has to offer. And so they are:
MOLDED COOKIES
Scottish Shortbread 3 Ways Molasses Cookies Peanut Butter Cookies Fall Leaf Cookies (one of my favorite; they're "3-D" cookies)
SANDWICH COOKIES
Pecan and Caramel Shortbread Chocolate Malt Cookies Chocolate Mint Wafers Linzer Sandwiches Carrot Cake Cookies (it's like having mini-carrot cakes)
DROP COOKIES
Dried Cherry Oatmeal Cookies Lemon Drop Wafers Chocolate Caramel Surprise Lemon Cassis Bonbons (these are wonderful!) Paul Bunyan Cookies Mudslides Alexis' Chocolate Chip Cookies Snickerdoodles Chocolate Crackles
Checkerboards Fruit and Nut Cookies French Butter Cookies (very light and very buttery)
ROLLED COOKIES
Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies (the standard for every cookie "chef") Matcha Shortbread Gingerbread People Cocconut Pinwheels Lime Sables
PIPED COOKIES
Langue de Chat Meringue Daisies (perfect and beautful for leftover eggwhites!) Lemon Thyme Wafers (a most elegant dinner sweet)
I enjoyed this DVD encyclopedia of some of her best cookies, and I hope there will be additional DVD's of the other cookies she has made over the years. But until that time, enjoy this tasty debut!
