Martha Stewart, a name synonymous with home and lifestyle expertise, has brought back her very first book, "Entertaining, " originally published way back in 1982. This isn't just any old cookbook; it's a piece of history that's now finding a new audience. The book, which had become a rare find, is now easily accessible on Amazon for under $50. This reprint comes at a time when younger generations, particularly Gen Z, are showing a renewed interest in Stewart's work. Many have seen the book in their parents' collections and are eager to get their hands on a copy, even if mom isn't willing to part with hers. "Entertaining" is packed with 300 recipes and 450 full-color photos, showcasing everything from outdoor omelets to pasta buffets. Stewart's approach is refreshingly real, with no AI-engineered food in sight. When asked about the book's sudden popularity among young adults, Stewart humorously replied, "Because I'm cool. Not only can I cook, I hang out with Snoop Dogg and I have gone to jail. I have been through the wringer and come out alive. " This year has been quite eventful for Stewart. Apart from this reprint, she has also released "Martha Stewart's Gardening Handbook" and launched her first skincare brand at the impressive age of 84. She even hinted at working on a memoir, but for now, her classic "Entertaining" guide is a great place to start for those looking to dive into her world. Stewart has often spoken about how "Entertaining" changed her life, helping her find her voice and shape her career. With this reprint, it seems the book is set to inspire a new generation of home enthusiasts.
