I’ve heard of people using Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking as a sort of textbook. Well I’ve just started using Martha Stewart’s Homekeeping Handbook

I did the same thing. I started off just printing her cleaning checklists, then I moved on to the book.

I should try this…maybe I could finally learn how to fold a fitted sheet!

i got this book for christmas and just love it- i've been using it more as a resource lately, but i love the idea of employing it as a textbook!

I have the Martha Cooking School book; it really is a great reference tool for cooking techniques, with lovely photos (of course!) and simple but classic, delicious recipes. Highly recommended!

Same here- I got this for my birthday last year and started reading it, but then fell off the wagon and have been using it mostly as a reference. I look forward to making some time this summer to really get through it.

i've been thinking a lot about one tip i learned from martha stewart that has changed my life: sweep your kitchen floor at least once a day. maybe it's a no brainer to everyone else, but it helped me a lot. i may have to check out this book. thx!

Great idea! I am going to keep my eyes peeled for this book while I am out thrifting… my house could certainly use it!

I love this idea as well. I have all of those Martha books, and I have been thinking about using them in that way. Her Baking Handbook is great for the same purpose as well. Now I need a gardening text!

Add me to the list of people who think this is a great idea. I have this book, actually. Have I cracked the spine? Negative.
Another great book about home keeping is called Home Comforts. I gave a copy to all my bridesmaids at my wedding (10 years ago) and I have to say, maybe we are all nerds, but it was a huge hit.

I've thought about doing the same thing. I hate cleaning. I hate it sooo much. you've inspired me to try to be better about it.

Cooking Light's Way To Cook would also be awesome for this. It reads more like a (very colorful, beautifully photographed) textbook as opposed to just a cookbook anyway.

I have this book too and have spent very little time with it. However, a complete apartment overhaul cleaning is about to start so this is a great idea to base my projects on! Thanks!
We should start a group or something and do it all together.

I've been thinking about purchasing this book, it seemed like it had sooo much great info in it but my local B&N closed. I guess I could buy online. lol
