She shows no signs of slowing down with her latest project: her milestone 100th book.

Martha’s upcoming cookbook is already number 1 in Amazon’s Christmas Cooking category, which is no surprise based on what’s found inside the pages. Recipes include a wide range of classic and elevated recipes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and every course from appetizer to dessert. Although the cookbook doesn’t focus on seasonal fare, specifically — dishes like the Apple Brioche Bread Pudding would make a perfect holiday treat.
In addition to the 100 recipes Martha selected as her favorites, her new cookbook serves as a scrapbook of her life. Readers will find cherished photos from her personal archives alongside the stories behind the dishes, tips of the trade, and insights from her prolific career.
“It was not an easy task to choose just a hundred recipes from the thousands created over the years,” Martha wrote in the book’s excerpt. “Every night, I remembered yet another dish I thought should be added and had to restrain myself.”
One inspiration for the recipes in her cookbook was her mother, affectionately called Big Martha. “Without a doubt, I knew I wanted to include some treasured family recipes that my mother, as a matriarch of a family of eight, made regularly,” she wrote. One such dish is her mother’s potato pierogies, which Martha ate as a child. Readers will find more of these classic, homespun dishes combined with crowd-pleasers for entertaining and more involved recipes for special occasions.
Martha: The Cookbook comes just in time for the holidays and would make a perfect gift for anyone who enjoys cooking, baking, or hosting. If you’re looking to add to your Martha Stewart collection, we’ve rounded up her most popular books, all of which are available to shop on Amazon now.
