In 1972, Stewart developed a catering business that showcased her remarkable talent and originality. Her unique visual presentation of food and the elegant recipes she created for her catered events were the basis for her book Entertaining, published in 1982. Entertaining was the first of 78 books, including bestsellers such as Martha Stewart’s Baking Handbook, Martha Stewart’s Homekeeping Handbook, and Martha Stewart’s Cooking School. The latter inspired the new weekly television series Martha Stewart’s Cooking School on PBS.
