Martha Stewart Is Reissuing Her Very First Cookbook

"Martha Stewart has stayed staunchly on the front line of culture for the past few decades, certainly in the food sphere but most impressively outside of it. Her side quests have been shockingly frequent and entirely unpredictable-she's quite frankly never letting us know her next move. In her recent reissue of her very first cookbook from 1982, Entertaining, she serves up a reminder to her fans, and perhaps our culture at large, that she's a cook first and foremost."

""I could feel it through my ballistic vest," Gregory Lairmore, the agent-turned-sandwich-attack-victim testified, adding that he "smelled the onions and the mustard." Is there a law against throwing sandwiches? "You're not going to be asked if you feel bad for the agent who took a sandwich to the chest," Julia Gatto, the defense lawyer, said in her opening statement. "You're going to be asked whether what happened that night is a federal crime.""

Restaurants are assisting people affected by the SNAP benefits crisis. Martha Stewart reissued her 1982 cookbook Entertaining, reinforcing her identity primarily as a cook.

The agent testified about feeling the sandwich through his ballistic vest and smelling onions and mustard. A deli named Sabzi alleges that a new Yasmin Khan cookbook called Sabzi infringes its trademark, and other food-and-entertainment items circulated in the news cycle.
