I am so thrilled to share a new development, something very special that you can check out and enjoy—today! This morning we are debuting Martha: Harvest + Holiday, an inspiring digital issue that you can access here - just click on the highlighted link. It offers the ideas and practical advice that you've come to expect from me and my team over the years, along with an immersive and rich, curated shopping experience. It’s unlike any one thing we’ve done before: It’s part content, part catalogue, it’s the Martha-logue! And whether you view this volume from your desktop or mobile device, you will find fresh suggestions and our favorite new goods.
You can get delicious recipes and see our new MARTHA by Martha Stewart Enamel Cast-Iron Collection in “One-Pot Wonders,” which was beautifully shot by our longtime contributing photographer Johnny Miller. Both the Dutch oven and braiser are so versatile and useful. With these pots, you can think beyond using them only for making soups, stews, or braising. Our Dutch-Oven Whole Grain Bread recipe, for example, bakes up gorgeously in a covered pot in just 40 minutes. There are also surprising and wonderful ways to cook with our braiser, including our recipe for Lasagna Pinwheels.
There are helpful and informative tips for how to winterize your garden. I’m readying my gardens and plants at both Skylands and Bedford for the cooler months ahead. It’s our aim to always provide you with timely advice and the proper tools to make accomplishing these tasks enjoyable.
When it comes to getting dressed each day, I love clothing that makes this easy and effortless—and looks fabulous. In “New Essentials” we share all the latest MARTHA by Martha Stewart pieces that you’ll reach for the most in your closet. There are new colors and patterns for our best-selling vests.
Classic shirts that always look polished. This was shot beautifully by another frequent contributor Ryan Liebe.
Smart pants—including our new line of denim with a flattering cut for everyone. These pieces are soft, high quality, and high performance. Many items are designed to work in the garden—or when you are running errands around town or going out on it!
If you know me, you know how much I love jadeite, and I have been collecting it for years. The various sizes and shapes of these vintage-inspired pieces make them wonderful for entertaining. I like to stack the cake stands on each other to add height to a display. Then fill with creamy cheeses, nuts, charcuterie, buttery crackers and more, or use them for a dessert or sweets table during the holidays.
You’ll also find our favorite recipes for the upcoming holidays, including my Turkey 101 for Perfect Roast Turkey. This step-by-step guide using our new MARTHA by Martha Stewart roaster is always on my table come Thanksgiving. We offer the secrets to success every time so you can prepare your bird with confidence.
No holiday volume would be complete without lots and lots of inspiration for decorating your home. Here is just a taste of the many pages inside Martha: Harvest + Holiday.
For me, the best gifts are thoughtful, useful, beautiful, and sure to delight the recipients. We curated several pages of our favorite presents in “Truly Gifted” our holiday guide to shopping for everyone on your list!
Please check it out here and I hope you enjoy it as much as we loved creating it for you!
