- About Me:
- I love to cook so I write cookbooks. Not your usual cookbooks though. My recipes take cooking back to the basics using ingredients found in most kitchens. I also give you ingredient change suggestions and tips to make cooking easier. Like all of us that cook, I've made mistakes while working up a dish so to let you know that I am human I include stories about those mistakes as well as stories about the recipes themselves. So, if you love to cook, want to learn to cook or just simply enjoy "reading" cookbooks, I think you will find my cookbook Stir, Laugh, Repeat... Finding Joy While Playing in the Kitchen just what you are looking for. And if you visit my website http://www.marthaskitchenkorner.com you will find more recipes that will be included in my next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Different Type of Cook Book - Highly Recommended!, October 13, 2009By CFH "chillnhill" (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)
"Stir, Laugh, Repeat" is more than a just a great collection of practical recipes. In many cases, Martha Cheves has added personal comments and stories relating to the dish and has is also populated helpful tips after each recipe.
The structure of the book is different than I am used to seeing since there isn't a Table of Contents and the recipes are all mix up, with no real order. This was done to encourage the reader to actually read through the whole the book. Thankfully there is an Index so you can find the ones you like later.
Since I work from home most of the time and my wife works at our shop, I have been trying to make a few meals a week. This book has a lot of recipes that can actually be followed by someone with my limited skills. Also, since I am not an expert in the kitchen, the included hints are very welcome and have taught me some very handy cooking tricks.
An enjoyable and practical cookbook! Highly Recommended!

Man Corn Murders - Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat
'Now she was too weak to leave the bunk, her tongue swollen and her lips cracking against every shallow breath, and she prayed for blessed release back into a warm, wet womb, her own barren into eternity. The tears had surrendered days ago, re summon them though she would to bathe sore eyes. She blinked a final time as cotton closed her ears and the pain fled, leaving her fresh and strong, moving her young muscles with the spirit of a freed colt.'
Terry Hart, a reporter from Cleveland, Ohio, and her aunt Judith Davis, a retired world history teacher, were out for a summer long trip to explore the historic "Mormon Road" ending up in Utah's Escalante-Grand Staircase National Monument. Their trip takes them near Sunset Years Retirement Ranch where Deborah, an old friend of Judith lives. Upon reaching the ranch, Judith learns that Deborah has left the ranch to live in Seattle with a nephew. Puzzled by the move, Judith starts investigating and learns that two other residents have mysteriously left the ranch as well. These sudden moves become a challenge to Judith that must be solved.
As Terry and Judith explore parts of the 1.7 million acre wilderness, they run across a cave with a metal door. Upon entering the cave they discover the body of a young woman. Melanie Briggs was an anthropology student who had been missing for several weeks. Now came another mystery which Terry vowed to solve. How did Melanie become trapped inside the cave?
Through her investigation, Terry learns that Melanie believed that the ancient tribes resorted to cannibalism in their attempt to survive the elements. Her theory brings enemies and threats from some of the locals. But did it upset someone enough that they would actually lock her inside the cave?
When I was a child my Dad moved us to a small town just outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. I loved seeing the Great Salt Lake, the Bonneville Salt Flats and even the artisan wells that just "spring" up out of the ground. I've always wanted to go back and see more of this state of many mysteries and after reading Man Corn Murders, that desire has grown even stronger. This book is not just a murder mystery, it's also a mini history book about the Anasazi and Fremont tribes during the 1400s. It has taken me to places and times in history that have sparked my interest to learn more.
Hi Martha,
Hope this finds you well and wanted to stop by and say hi. I have finally taken sometime to read your profile and found that we somethings in common, I lived in Utah for a good portion of my life where I raised my 4 kids and and 2 of them a daughter and son still live with their families in SL and another daughter that is in Pine Valley (Southern Utah) I dont get back to SL as often as I would like to, but I do get see my oldest daughter either she comes to visit in Las Vegas or go visit them, since she is so close.
I noticed we are just a year different age and I too learned to cook without recipes and ate 3 cooked meals a day with my family always something fresh baked everyday. In time I will get your book. And I have a recipe that is a knock out every where I take it.
You must have something going on all the time.
But I just wanted to stop and to Wish You A Wonderful Mothers Day
Thanks, Karren
