“I’m very excited for viewers to learn about the modern baking pantry this season,” said Martha Stewart. “I had such a wonderful time with each of the guest experts and really enjoyed being able to bring recipes from my recent book, A New Way to Bake, to life on the show to teach and inspire baking with healthy, natural ingredients. I am so pleased to continue partnering with our friends at Domino Foods and delighted to now also be working with Pyrex.”
