In this exquisite and very personal book, Martha Stewart welcomes
you into her world, where she entertains in the expressive and
beautiful style that she has made so famous. Whether a simple
blueberry breakfast on a Sunday morning in Maine or a more lavish
holiday dinner at Bedford, each of the gatherings is equally
memorable, for what Martha cherishes above all is spending time and
sharing delicious food with her family and friends.
"A meal of substantial finger foods with ingenious cocktails, a
sit-down formal dinner, a buffet supper, or something more relaxed
such as a backyard barbecue--each is a welcome and inviting way to
entertain," writes Martha. Featuring elegant and casual affairs
held throughout the year and a diverse collection of enticing
recipes, "Martha's Entertaining "shows us--in the broadest and most
lovely fashion--what it really means to entertain and host today.
From an afternoon Easter egg hunt for children to a festive
Halloween dinner held inside her horse stable; from a sophisticated
cocktail party on a friend's yacht in New York Harbor to a spring
garden fete amid the most glorious beds of peonies, Martha's
parties offer a glimpse inside her beautiful homes. Each is
unforgettable and endlessly inspiring.
All of the events feature menus and stories for dreaming and
planning, as well as delicious yet approachable recipes: Tomato and
Gruyere Toasts, Mini Crab Cakes with Tarragon Tartar Sauce, Tiny
Tuna Burgers, Leek and Porcini Risotto, Wild-Mushroom Lasagna,
Braised Short Ribs, Roast Turkey Breast with Sage Butter, Rhubarb
Crumbles, Blueberry Jam Tartlets, and Chocolate Honey Ice Cream
with Butterscotch Sauce, plus some of Martha's favorite drinks,
including Pomegranate Cosmopolitans and Honeydew Mojitos. Mix and

The year was 1982, and Martha Stewart published her first book,
Entertaining. This immediate best-seller, based on Martha's
experience as a professional caterer, introduced readers to a new
style of entertaining and a new style of cookbook - one that was
gloriously photographed and filled with a wealth of information on
the art of hospitality. In the years following, Martha wrote eight
more books on food and entertaining, continuing to inspire a
growing legion of fans with beautiful food, simply but elegantly
presented. This book is the culmination of those years of
publishing. More than 1,600 recipes and variations - all the
recipes from Entertaining, Quick Cook, Pies & Tarts, Hors
d'Oeuvres, Quick Cook Menus, Gardening, Weddings, Christmas, and
Menus for Entertaining - are gathered together in a single volume.
Thoroughly revised and updated, The Martha Stewart Cookbook
includes a new introduction by Martha, new step-by-step
illustrations, new menus, and sidebars and tips on subjects as
varied as freezing pastry, selecting the best fruit, and setting
the table.
