The Domestic Goddess 👱🏻‍♀️

SB298

Hi there!

One of us is seeing a nutritionist today. And I don’t think it’s you.

If you’ve been living an unwanted sedentary lifestyle, if your bloodwork s*ck and your metabolism left you right after your 40th birthday, you know what I’m talking about.

Wish me luck.

I bet you’ll get more healthy recipes in the coming issues. Or more Matty Matheson comfort food stuff.

Martha: The Cookbook by Martha Stewart

MARTHA, THE DOMESTIC GODDESS

Let’s talk more about Martha Stewart. She popularized the concept of "domestic goddess" and elevated everyday cooking into an art form. Her cookbooks (100, you’re served), TV shows, and magazines provided accessible recipes and techniques, inspiring home cooks to experiment and create. She also inspired Eater people with her hacks. She was, in fact, the mother of the contemporary influencers.

The best part is Stewart's story is not without controversy. She faced legal troubles, including an insider trading scandal that led to imprisonment. I mean: jail!

If prison and recipes and smiles are not enough, you should know she worked 8 years as a stockbroker, she became America’s first self-made female billionaire and - hey - her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover in 2023, with which she made history as the oldest cover star at age 81, got 100 billion impressions.

Now you can have her as a Christmas Elf-on-the-Shelf, or as a Netflix star saying things like: “Those prosecutors should have been put in a Cuisinart turned on high”.

She’s fire.
