I pulled this iconic cookbook from my mom’s bookshelves when I was somewhere around the age of ten—and it still ranks as one of my all-time favorites. I loved how inviting the cover was, and all the photography within made me wish I could teleport myself to Martha’s house to be a guest at her gorgeously set table.
From Maria's list on cookbooks that celebrate the art of hosting.
I am a good friend of Martha Stewart; I have learned so much from her.
Her first book is more than a collection of recipes for entertaining. I love her sense of organization and her discipline. I think that she is first of all, a teacher, and I always get from her more than factual knowledge but true education.
