Two hundred recipes perfect for dinner when you have a little time—but not all day—to cook. For meals that are meant for sharing with friends and family but created with busy cooks in mind, Martha Stewart's Dinner at Home is a new classic that cooks of all levels will depend on. Whether you're making a Sunday supper or hosting a casual get-together, Martha Stewart has put together 52 diverse menus that make the most of each season's flavors—and the various ways we like to cook as the weather changes.
The menus—featuring starters, main courses, side dishes, and desserts—are cleverly designed with a simple preparation schedule that enables you to plan and cook dinner so that it is on the table in about an hour. Using easy-to-find ingredients from the grocery store or farmers' market (and Martha's helpful tips and shortcut techniques), each meal is fresh and inspiring without demanding too much effort. Examples include:
• Watercress-Cauliflower Soup, Roasted Pork with Sage and Garlic, Braised Fennel and White Beans, Pears with Candied Walnuts and Gorgonzola
• Asparagus-Parmesan Tart, Shrimp in Saffron Broth, Couscous with Golden Raisins, Apricot-Almond Ice Cream Sandwiches
• Roast Chicken Breasts in Creamy Tarragon Sauce, Warm Lentils with Spinach, Caramelized Endive, Poached Pears with Chocolate Sauce

Braised Chicken Marsala
Serves 4
4 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (about 1 1/4 pounds)
4 chicken drumsticks (about 1 pound)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 red onions, peeled and quartered through the stem
2 plum tomatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
6 sprigs thyme
3/4 cup Marsala (sweet Italian fortified wine)
1 1/4 cups chicken stock, homemade or low-sodium store-bought
Preheat oven to 400°F. Rinse chicken, pat dry with paper towels, and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large, high-sided sauté pan over medium-high. Working in batches, brown chicken on both sides, turning once, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter; tent loosely with parchment paper, then foil, to keep warm. After all chicken is browned, pour off excess fat.
Add onions, tomatoes, and thyme to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Pour in Marsala; cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to pan and pour in stock; bring to a simmer. Transfer to oven; cook until chicken is cooked through and tender, about 35 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter, and cover to keep warm.
Skim off excess fat from liquid in pan; simmer liquid over medium-high until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. To serve, divide polenta among shallow bowls and arrange
chicken on top; spoon pan sauce over each.

 | Martha Stewart's Dinner At Home Feb 8, 2010 |
| An excellent book by Matha Stewart. My wife loves it and I reap in the benefits of her cooking | | |  | Great recipes! Love this cookbook!! Jan 21, 2010 |
| My family has loved everything I have made out of here so far. I love the variety of different meals. Although there is not a single meal in here that can be made in 1 hour or less. | | |  | Could be quicker and easier Jan 19, 2010 |
| The concept of the book is terrific, but I find that the recipes are too labor-intensive and time-consuing for the person who comes home from work and then has to get dinner on the table within a reasonable time. It's great for weekends, though. | | | | Food to write home about Jan 17, 2010 |
After an hour of mouthwatering reading, I decided to use Martha's book to make my Christmas dinner, and boy, I sure am glad I did. I love how the book is broken up seasonally, which makes grocery shopping so much more interesting. The winter menu of Roast Chicken Breasts in Creamy Tarragon Sauce is a real crowd-pleaser, even for those who aren't familiar with the lovely taste of fresh tarragon, a very French addition to chicken dishes. The Warm Lentils with Spinach is an easy and healthy addition to any meal, and really is delicious alongside the chicken. Caramelized Endive will bring the relatively unknown lettuce into the spotlight, and the beautiful and simple dessert of poached pears is the perfect finale with another glass of bubbly. The best thing about this book is the inspiration the reader gets to venture into unknown territory within every menu, since there are some ingredients that may be new to the average home cook. Even though some of the menus sound complicated, they really are not, however, these are special meals, just right for a date night with the hubby or a holiday occasion.

| I bought this book as a Christmas present for my wife. She loves this cookbook. I think it is her favorite Christmas gift I gave her. The recipes are arranged as complete meals, which is an interesting way to organize a cookbook. We've tried some of the recipes already, and they are quite tasty. | | | Write your own review about Martha Stewart's Dinner at Home: 52 Quick Meals to Cook for Family and Friends
