Take a Moment to Appreciate Martha Stewart's First Cookbook Cover From '82

Sep 27 2015 - 4:00pm

Martha Stewart shared this amazing flashback photo [1] of the home cook's legendary first cookbook cover. Published in '82 [2], this cookbook would serve as the launching pad for Martha's global fame and recognition. Can we take a moment to appreciate the amazing brooch/pearls combo happening over that frilly peasant blouse?

Despite this cover being over 30 years old, I gotta say, the table arrangement is so classic it doesn't even look dated. In fact, the bloomed poppy flower arrangement [3] looks pretty modern! And I wish my lob's waves [4] could look like Martha's. And just for comparison's sake, here's a recent picture of Martha's look.

My mom definitely lived and breathed Martha's entertaining advice throughout the '80s and '90s. Can anyone else relate?
