“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 fête 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 Gruyère 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.
