The studio
Yesterday was such an amazing experience. Not only did I get to fully participate in a taping of The Martha Stewart Show, but I met some amazing food bloggers and got to see the inner workings of a talk show that focuses on food. If you didn’t follow the live Twitter feed yesterday (you can still read the Tweets here) this is a brief recap.
After waiting in the freezing November cold at 8:30 AM, the audience was ushered in, given name tags, and then the Twitterers were herded into a separate green room to get the low down on what would happen during the show. After the intro, we got a quick tour of the studio and then we sat down. I was front row. Because that’s where they put the prettiest people, in case you are not television-savvy.
There were two rows of Twitterers, all posting to #MarthaTweets and we even caused a trending topic! Word.
Now on to the important stuff. The cookies. Oh, the cookies. Did you know they bake all of the cookies on The Martha Stewart Show right there in their very own test kitchen? So when they hand out these cookies to the audience members, you’re eating something that was baked that day right in the same room.
A sugar cookie with organic milk from Manhattan Milk (click the pic for a link!)
The sugar cookie was followed up by a Mexican hot chocolate cookie, an almond mouse cookie, and a coconut sandwich cookie. We also got to taste a cranberry coin cookie. I knew I skipped breakfast for a reason.
The Martha Stewart Show also premiered the brand new Martha Cookie app for the iPad, which made me sad that I am poor, and lustful for that beautiful piece of technology. A girl can dream…

Hello sister. That is so cool that you got to be on the show. Congrats! The cookies looked and sounded delicious. Did Martha give you any stock tips? haha jk. See you this weekend.
What a great experience for you, not to mention that you got to eat freshly baked cookies.
I love her cookie cookbook, which as I recall you bought for me.
sounds and looks like a good time was had by all. i will be expecting cookies (many cookies) at the usual “exchange” site. chocolate is always good for starters.
