Reviews about Recipes in this Book

  • Sorrel soup

    • Tea & Cookies

      I still like this soup. I have changed the recipe, however, to add mushrooms for a deeper, earthier soup..and I’ve altered the preparation technique to better preserve the sorrel’s fresh, sour flavor.

Publishers Text

The book that started it all: the essential guide to entertaining from cultural icon Martha Stewart, with 300 recipes, 450 full-color photographs, and thousands of inspiring ideas that stand the test of time

Published in 1982, Entertaining turned Martha Stewart into a household name. In this timeless classic, she presents a style of entertaining that is personal, relaxed, and expressive. Drawing on her experience as a professional caterer, she shares tips and techniques for hosting fun and original parties, no matter the occasion or setting. Entertaining no longer has to stiff and formal—it can be omelettes served on the lawn, dim sum before the theater, tempura in the kitchen, a boisterous pasta buffet, champagne and desserts at midnight, or a weekend country breakfast. Whether a party is small or large, indoor or outdoor, fancy or simple, impromptu or carefully planned, there are many ways to make a gathering special.

Yet entertaining well demands more than originality. Planning and organization are the backbone of a successful party, and Stewart gives invaluable advice on this as well as on creating a comfortable ambience for guests, presenting food beautifully, setting the perfect table, choosing the ideal lighting and music, and working efficiently with a caterer if the occasion arises. Imaginative yet practical—with over three hundred original recipes—Entertaining will ensure that you never run out of ideas or inspiration for hosting the perfect event.
