A Complete List of Martha Stewart's Books—All 99 of Them (2024)

Entertaining

This was the entertaining manual to buy upon its release in 1982—and the one that launched Martha's career. It was the first of its kind, a comprehensive tome on hosting parties, big or small, including a series of recipes perfectly suited to entertaining. The book was also the spark behind her next few projects, since it unearthed a myriad of new ideas and topics to explore. "It's a big job taking care of one's home, and one's family, and one's kids—and then do everything else," Martha tells MarthaStewart.com. "And that's what I was trying to do with writing the first book—and then I kept writing books. Finding my voice in terms of the home just made me very happy."

Martha Stewart's Quick Cook

Her next book, Martha Stewart's Quick Cook, came on the heels of Entertaining, in 1983. With 200 easy, elegant recipes—folded into 52 menus and organized by season—that are ready in one hour or less, it's a staple in American homes to this day.

Mixed fruit, berry, vegetable, chocolate, nut—Martha covers just about every pie or tart type imaginable in this 100-plus-recipe book, which debuted in 1985.

Weddings

Weddings, published in 1987, would go on to inspire an entire magazine (Martha Stewart Weddings ran its first issue less than a decade later, in 1994)—which makes perfect sense when you consider the scope of the source material. Filled with glossy images from over 40 wedding ceremonies and receptions, Weddings is a bride's complete guide to planning any type of an event; its many chapters cover it all, from organization, invitations, and bouquets to music, decoration, menus, and cakes (recipes and step-by-step assembly tips, included).

The Wedding Planner

It was the planner to gift a bride-to-be when it came out in 1988—Martha's custom, interactive guide featured tabbed sections with checklists and to-dos; the book was also filled with pockets for storing paper and fabric samples and contracts. A six-month calendar kept couples on track as the big day drew closer.

Martha Stewart's Gardening

The first thing Martha did when she purchased Westport, Connecticut-based Turkey Hill—her first of many famous homes—in 1971 was plant an orchard of old-fashioned fruit trees. She continued to acquire acres adjacent to the main property throughout the years, expanding her orchards and gardens onto just about every inch. She had become a master gardener—a keeper of colorful perennials, berry bushes, and everything in between. So, naturally, she wrote a book on the subject in 1991, teaching novice and longtime gardeners alike about creating and maintaining a flourishing, colorful yard.

Martha Stewart's Hors D'Oeuvres

Turkey Hill, the definition of a fixer-upper, also taught Martha everything there was to know about renovating and preserving a historic residence, and ultimately inspired Martha Stewart's New Old House (1992). This oeuvre tackles one of the most daunting projects any homeowner could ever face: The renovation of an entire house.

Two years after she became a grandmother—her daughter, Alexis, gave birth to a daughter, Jude in 2011—Martha released a comprehensive craft books for kids, in 2013. The guide, filled with projects that little ones (ages three to 12) can make with their parents, is fun, but practical, too. Kids can wear, use, and play with the things they make. It's more relevant now than ever: It's a great add to your playroom and for family time during quarantine.
