A Book Signing at Sasha's Barn House for "Martha, The Cookbook"
I hope you have your copy of my 100th book, MARTHA, THE COOKBOOK: 100 FAVORITE RECIPES WITH LESSONS AND STORIES FROM MY KITCHEN. It's a New York Times Best Seller!
To promote this special landmark book, I conducted a book signing yesterday at Sasha's Barn House, a charming event space in Greenwich, Connecticut. 200 visitors turned out for the occasion. I had a great time signing books and talking with the crowd. Attendees enjoyed flipping through the pages and seeing well-loved recipes such as my mother's Potato Pierogi, my own decadent Gougères, my delicious Paella, my daughter's famous Chocolate Chip Cookies, and more. MARTHA, THE COOKBOOK: 100 FAVORITE RECIPES WITH LESSONS AND STORIES FROM MY KITCHEN is a lovely and useful book - you'll want to read it cover to cover and make every single dish, I assure you.
Enjoy these photos.

- I am so pleased with how my book is doing. It is a wonderful collection of recipes, personal stories, and great photographs selected by me from my own archives. Here I am before putting pen to paper and signing every one of these books.
-
- I held the book signing in this beautiful barn in the Cos Cob section of nearby Greenwich, Connecticut. It opened just few months ago.
-
- The event space features tall barn ceilings, an art gallery, indoor and outdoor seating, a kitchen, and a bar. It offers commercial space for all kinds of events, gatherings and showings.
-
- Sasha’s Barn House is owned and managed by Sasha Glavatskaya. Here she is with her boyfriend, George Bridge, who you may recognize from my blogs and posts. He is a leading authority on boxwood. In fact, he first introduced me to boxwood more than 20 years ago.
-
- Sasha’s Barn House was wonderfully decorated. in this corner, a holiday tree.
-
- And in this corner, a collection of freshly cut roses and peonies.
-
- Having done so many book signings over the years, my small team and I have developed an efficient and fast event process. All the books are stacked nearby and handed to me as each guest approaches.
-
- This is Susanne Ruppert, our own editorial director of books. She’s ready to pass the books.
-
- Light snacks and refreshments were provided for attendees.
-
- This board included fresh vegetables and shrimp.
-
- Those who purchased tickets received bookmark passes at the entrance to the barn.
-
- Then they serpentined through the large gathering room. It was so nice to see such an enthusiastic crowd.
-
- One of the attendees, Linda Evans, traveled all the way from Hiawassee, Georgia – a small town about four hours north of Atlanta. See my TikTok to find out how she got all the way to Greenwich to see me.
-
- Attendees purchased books for themselves and for those on their holiday gift lists.
-
- This couple brought their dog to the signing and purchased two books.
-
- There were several groups of friends who made the event part of a fun evening out.
-
- Here are two more happy customers who just got their books signed. I enjoy meeting all these guests and talking to them about my books and products – it allows me to get firsthand feedback.
-
- And look who else showed up – my neighbor, designer Andy Yu.
-
- In all, I signed more than 200 books – that’s a lot of books but I am certainly accustomed to it. After all, this is my 100th!
