    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.

    Stir, Laugh, RepeatFinding Joy While Playing in the Kitchen by Martha A. ChevesWhat a delightful cookbook! Many of us have collected many cookbooks over the years, but only a handful of those do we pull out regularly for those “Uh, Oh, what am I going to fix for dinner tonight” days. This will be one of those books that I can depend on for real food ideas. The cookbook is obviously a work of love from the author as she not only shares family recipes, but also stories of her life and those she loves. What I liked most about the recipes is that I could go to my cupboards right now and already have ingredients to start cooking. The recipes are easy to follow and probably do not take much more time to prepare than some of the frozen stuff that goes on our tables. Good home cooking and a slice of life on the side – you can’t get any better than that. This cookbook would be perfect for a young cook because of the basic ingredients and easy instructions. There are also many tips and hints following the recipes. But don’t think it is just for the beginners. I have been cooking for 40 years and look forward to trying these recipes. Of course, the Banana Puddin’ will have to be first. There are a lot of the authors memories wrapped around this special recipe. I highly recommend this cookbook as a purchase to keep or as a gift for family and friends.

    I never thought I’d write a review of a cookery book. Ask any of my family—I’m not exactly an expert in the kitchen. Though, of course, they should take at least some of the blame. It’s hard to produce expert meals when you have so many conflicting requirements. Over Christmas there was me (no gluten), spouse (likes the texture of “real”—i.e. wheat-based—cooking), mother (no fresh fruit, under-cooked veg or spice), son #1 (nothing boring), son #2 (vegetarian, no nuts), son #3 (meat and two veg), and dog (anything and everything). At least the dog was easy to please.But Martha Cheves’ cookbook, despite so many of the recipes including packets and mixes (mostly with gluten), or meat (not vegetarian), is the perfect book for me. In this modern world where so many of us are allergic to one thing or another, cooking is all too often a question of sticking to the hypo-allergenic diet cook-book, or changing better-known recipes to suit. Martha is a cook who espouses substitution, and her book is the perfect stepping stone between the exotic ingredients of specialist recipes and the world of do-it-yourself.It’s also the perfect book just to sit down and read for ideas and entertainment. I don’t usually laugh while reading a cook book, but some of Martha’s culinary tales will have me smiling every time I go shopping. (I shall never look at a turkey the same way again!)And it’s the perfect book for someone who’s not quite sure how a cook book works. For me, being English, there are many unseen pitfalls in American cooking, from how you measure a cupful of sugar (we use weights), to what you use instead of greaseproof paper. Martha answers these questions and more in tips scattered throughout the book, again, rewarding reading from cover to cover.After finishing this book, you won’t just know where to look for a good recipe, but you’ll have the confidence to change the recipe according to what’s in your cupboard. Cooking becomes an exercise in creativity, instead of a lesson in how well-prepared you are. And I look forward to stirring Martha’s ideas, laughing as I change them, and repeating with many variations for years to come.
