Visit Our Pies and Tarts Pop-up Store!

March 26, 2011

On Thursday night, I attended a party celebrating our latest book of recipes, Martha Stewart’s New Pies and Tarts. In conjunction with the release of the book, we have created a temporary pop-up shop, for this weekend only, Saturday and Sunday, where you can buy the book, and also mini pies, tartlets, galettes, coffee, tea, and sodas. The bakers behind the book will be there performing cooking demonstrations and there will also be hourly raffles, featuring prizes like a tour of our test kitchen and tickets to my television show! So, come on down to Little Owl – The Venue located at 93 Greenwich Avenue between Bank and 12^th from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and join the fun.
