Basically, I think Martha Stewart did this book as an excuse to give lots of parties. You can say that she presents an unrealistic example for modern women, and she does, but that isn't the point. I think the point is to help you dream a bit about giving a party of your own. In that respect, well, I, I'm trying to plan a holiday open house and I lay the blame for this mad inspiration at Martha's feet. ( ) While most of us don't have Martha's resources (a big house, multiple sets of china and linens, collections galore to use for decoration, not to mention a staff to help prepare the food!), everyone can probably find something to take away from her latest book. The first three-fourths of the book is a series of menus illustrated with gorgeous photography of the food and the settings and the last fourth contains the recipes. Whether you're planning a breakfast, brunch, luncheon, garden party, holiday dinner or dinner party, there's a menu here for you. The recipe section includes photographed how-to sections for some of the preparations. The photographs and text describing the table settings and decoration provide tips to those of us who are a little artistically impaired, even if we don't have all the stuff Martha does! Fun to read, although toting it back and forth from the library threatened to put my back out! sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
In this exquisite and very personal book, Martha Stewart welcomes you into her world, where she entertains in the expressive and beautiful style that she has made so famous. Whether a simple blueberry breakfast on a Sunday morning in Maine or a more lavish holiday dinner at Bedford, each of the gatherings is equally memorable, for what Martha cherishes above all is spending time and sharing delicious food with her family and friends."A meal of substantial finger foods with ingenious cocktails, a sit-down formal dinner, a buffet supper, or something more relaxed such as a backyard barbecue-each is a welcome and inviting way to entertain," writes Martha. Featuring elegant and casual affairs held throughout the year and a diverse collection of enticing recipes, Martha's Entertaining shows us-in the broadest and most lovely fashion-what it really means to entertain and host today. From an afternoon Easter egg hunt for children to a festive Halloween dinner held inside her horse stable; from a sophisticated cocktail party on a friend's yacht in New York Harbor to a spring garden fate amid the most glorious beds of peonies, Martha's parties offer a glimpse inside her beautiful homes. Each is unforgettable and endlessly inspiring.All of the events feature menus and stories for dreaming and planning, as well as delicious yet approachable recipes- Tomato and Gruy re Toasts, Mini Crab Cakes with Tarragon Tartar Sauce, Tiny Tuna Burgers, Leek and Porcini Risotto, Wild-Mushroom Lasagna, Braised Short Ribs, Roast Turkey Breast with Sage Butter, Rhubarb Crumbles, Blueberry Jam Tartlets, and Chocolate Honey Ice Cream with Butterscotch Sauce, plus some of Martha's favorite drinks, including Pomegranate Cosmopolitans and Honeydew Mojitos. Mix and match the recipes to create your own distinctive occasion.Set among Martha's dining rooms, kitchens, gardens, and patios, this is her most intimate book yet, a new classic for hosts and home cooks of every generation.
