Book Synopsis



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 be 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.

Great book, just don't buy from Target!

I ordered the brand new reissue of Martha Stewart's iconic first book "Entertaining." Target sent me a used copy for the price of the new copy (roughly $50). Thanks for nothing Target.
