Breakfast with Martha and a Giveaway


Update: The giveaway winner is Brigette of Just A Smidge!

Earlier this week, I was lucky enough to attend Breakfast with Martha, an event at the Martha Stewart offices here in New York sponsored by KitchenAid. The breakfast was to promote her PBS shows Martha Stewart's Cooking School and the brand new Martha Bakes. She came across just like she does on TV, knowledgable, witty, pronouncing the "h" in herbs. Also, she wore leather pants and looked awesome in them, which only made her more intimidating.

Martha mixed up a batch of buttermilk biscuits, which we lucky guests got to enjoy along with a popover, fruit, bacon and eggs (from Martha's own hens, of course). It felt totally surreal to be there and was so much fun that I wanted to share a little bit of fun with you, so I'm giving away a copy of Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook!

Just leave a comment below before noon on Saturday, April 13th for a chance to win.
For additional entries, tweet about the giveaway using the hashtag #sohomarthagiveaway and like The SoHo on Facebook (or let me know if you already do). One winner will be chosen at random. Good luck!

    I'd love to win her book. Martha is the first "cooking-celebrity" whose show I can remember watching. xx

    Oh boy! I'd LOVE to win. Baking is one of my hobbies and I would get a lot of use out of this book (and I love Martha). It must have been so cool to have seen her in person. Looks like a small venue too. Thanks for the give-away opportunity! I've also "Liked" The SoHo on Facebook!

    I have a love/hate relationship with Martha, I love everything she does, I hate that she makes everything! Who has all the time? But I still look to her for recipes and ideas all the time!

      Me too, but remember, she has assistants and lots of them! If we had assistants, we could make stuff too!

    How fun is your life? I love Martha. Lucky you!
    (Please note: Do not enter me in the drawing for the cookbook - it would be a waste - at least until I get an assistant.)

    How wonderful that you got to go to the Martha Stewart offices AND have breakfast with Martha! I tried to go to ALT in New York because it's at the Martha Stewart offices. She does look pretty fabulous in those leather leggings...leave it to Martha. The way she pronounces "h"erbs...I can't even look at an herb without hearing her saying it. Kind of funny. I would love to win!
