Martha Stewart has long been loved for her household secrets. It was in 1982, when she released her iconic book 'Entertaining', that she became known as the ultimate homemaker. Ever since, she's been providing us with only the best advice, from cleaning tips to delicious recipes.
If you're a lover of Martha Stewart (who isn't?), you'll know that Entertaining is the ultimate source on how to be a good host. Filled with tips on how to nail dining room lighting to the best way to present a dish, the book is (unsurprisingly) still highly prized, with second-hand copies reaching high sums online.
Whether you're looking to perfect the art of hosting or you're simply a Martha fan, you'll be pleased to know her iconic book is (finally) being rereleased and is available on online retailers and in some stores from today.
Arriving just in time to inspire your Thanksgiving table or your Christmas dining room, Martha's book of timeless advice is one you won't regret investing in before the holidays.
A facsimile copy, the book features all the original content and layout from the 1982 edition, making it even more charming and iconic. Since its debut, Martha has released plenty of other books on various topics (from gardening to cleaning, she's covered it), but her first work is undoubtedly her best.
'The book captures the beauty of atmosphere,' explains Interior Designer Zeina Halwani from Gorman's Home Furnishings. 'The way lighting, texture, and small details come together to make people feel at ease. It reminds me that great design is never just visual – it’s emotional. Every gathering, like every room, tells a story through its rhythm and warmth. Entertaining continues to inspire me to design spaces that feel thoughtful, lived in, and timeless.'

Homes & Garden's Head of Celebrity Style News, Megan Slack, is similarly marking the release. 'Entertaining’ isn’t just a book – it’s a masterclass in the art of hosting,' she says.

'Martha Stewart transformed the way we think about gatherings, from the smallest cocktail party to a large dinner. Every page is filled with practical guidance, elegant inspiration, and timeless tips that remain as relevant today as they were in 1982. For anyone who values style, hospitality, and the joy of bringing people together, this re-release is an essential addition to your bookshelves.'
Martha's release of Entertaining is so exciting. From delicious recipes to timeless hosting tips, I can't wait to have a copy for my own on my kitchen shelves.
