Sneak Peak at Martha's Next Book!

My friend David Pantoja, who hosts the Good Things by David blog, recently received an advanced copy of Martha Stewart's next book, which is titled "Martha Stewart's Newlywed Kitchen" - out on November 7th. David shares some photos and insights about the book on his blog but he's agreed to let me share a few photos here as well.

Described as the "ultimate cookbook for the modern couple", the book focuses on recipes for weeknight dinners and easy, casual entertaining. Not just for newlyweds, the book is a couple's guide (any couple!) with plenty of recipes that are designed to feed just two people: a unique feature among cookbooks that always seem to cater to larger families or crowds. It's nice to have a cookbook meant for two! Below are some of David's photographs of the book:

A nice feature of the book is a guide to serving essentials with lists of must-have dinnerware, glassware, serving pieces, table linens and entertaining accessories that can help a couple starting out (or anyone who needs a good checklist!) gather the pieces they need to entertain small groups.

As mentioned above, many of the weeknight dinners cater to couples, with portions that are just right for two.

The book also has you covered when it comes to entertaining small groups or hosting family for the holidays. There are menus for a weekend brunch, a taco fiesta and a fondue dinner, among others. There is also a Thanksgiving Day menu and recipes for a holiday cocktail party!

As someone who still feels like a newlywed, ten years after saying "I do", I think this book will be a welcome addition to my home. There is just the two of us at home most of the time and how nice it will be to have a book that celebrates a loving twosome! You can pre-order the book now on Amazon. It will be in stores November 7th.
