America’s doyenne of entertaining will be signing copies of her new book, “Martha’s American Food” (Potter, $40), Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Sur la Table in Manhasset. The book, subtitled “a celebration of our nation's most treasured dishes, from coast to coast,“ includes 200 recipes, organized geographically.
The tony cookware store on Manhasset’s Miracle Mile is notoriously short on parking, but assistant manager Dawn Blair said that valets would be on hand and that, since the event didn’t start until 6, some of the store’s neighbors would be closed, freeing up valuable spaces. “We’re just going to stay positive,” she said.
There are rules for the event, Blair said: Martha Stewart will only sign copies of her newest book, and books to be signed must have been purchased at Sur la Table in Manhasset. Buying a book, however, does not guarantee that you’ll get yours signed, Blair said.
Sur la Table is at 1468 Northern Blvd., Manhasset, 516-365-3297.
