Why read it?

2 authors picked Entertaining as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

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.

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.

From Christophe's list on loving where you live.
