Let this 1976 snapshot of Martha in Westport, Connecticut serve as your ultimate summer inspiration. Captured on the grounds of Turkey Hill, this farmstead property served as an incubator to many of our founder’s ideas and ventures, like starting her expansive all-season gardens to serving as the setting of her first book, Entertaining. And as for Martha’s well-known love for picking farm fresh eggs? Well, it’s *always* been a good thing. 😉 📷: Susan Wood/ Getty Images
Give your ho-hum picnic sandwich a Martha upgrade. Put this easy grilled sandwich together in the morning and leave it to press under the weight of your trusty cast iron skillet. You’ll be amazed at how pressing helps the flavors of olive tapenade, provolone, mozzarella, roasted peppers, marinated artichoke hearts, spicy salami, and baby arugula combine in this hearty sandwich. A quick turn on grill will melt the cheese, then cut the sandwich into portions for serving.

Our recipe for homemade mayonnaise couldn’t be easier to whip—or rather whisk—up. It only requires a few basic ingredients: a single egg yolk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and a neutral oil such as grapeseed or sunflower. And, it can be used in countless ways, including on sandwiches, in salads and dressings, as the base for dips, and so much more. Get the recipe at the link in our bio.
A classic French dessert, the napoleon has layers of crisp, flaky puff pastry with rich pastry cream and is topped with a silky glaze. Our coffee version uses a traditional pastry cream flavored with instant espresso powder, with more coffee flavor in the glaze that goes on top. Get the recipe at the link in our bio.
In this vintage clip, Martha is joined by chefs Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert to make fresh egg noodles to serve with coq au vin.
Our modern take on Key-lime pie has a filling of whipped cream folded into a curd made with lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and white chocolate—and tastes like a tart Creamsicle. It goes into a baked crust of crushed spice cookies (we used Biscoffs, but graham crackers are just as good), gets a shower of lime zest, and chills in the fridge. The winning result is both dense and airy—and, despite its swoopy looks, slices like a dream. Get the recipe at the link in our bio. 📷: @christophertestani
Our watermelon sorbet recipe requires only two ingredients and is a refreshing treat on a hot summer day. Start by simmering a quick simple syrup on the stovetop, which you can flavor with Campari or white creme de menthe, if desired. Once chilled, you’ll combine it with pureed fresh watermelon and transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker. After a quick churn, the sweet sorbet will be ready to eat.

Our zucchini frittata is loaded with vegetables and melty provolone cheese and gets a flavor boost from thinly sliced scallions and fresh basil. Hearty without being heavy, it’s a delicious meatless meal that is just as great served for brunch as it is for dinner with a side salad. Once you’ve got the zucchini version down, try one of our variations: shallots, mushrooms, and gruyère; leeks, tomatoes, and goat cheese; or corn, cilantro, and pepper jack cheese.

For many of us, soap is a go-to for cleaning, and the first product we reach for to tackle cleaning jobs big and small. While it is certainly versatile, not everything can be cleaned with soap. In fact, soap can actually be damaging to certain materials. At the link in our bio, cleaning experts explain which household items shouldn’t be cleaned with soap—and what to use instead.
Summer is berry season: First come strawberries, then raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries.

These chocolatey brownie cookies are crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and loaded with crunchy walnuts. They’re also easy to make: You won’t need any special equipment, just a bit of stirring to bring the batter together. Refrigerating the cookie dough before baking helps the butter to firm up and the flour to hydrate, leading to a better finished texture and more flavorful dough.
