Martha Stewart, Emmy® Award-winning TV host, author and founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, conducts a culinary master class for American home cooks each week. In the third series, beginning in 2014, Martha demonstrates classic cooking techniques and basics.

Using her signature step-by-step, how-to teaching process, she illustrates the building blocks of recipes everyone should know. Each episode features Martha’s tips and tricks, inspiring and educating home cooks everywhere.

"Know Your Vegetables" - We all know we should eat vegetables whenever possible, but it’s important to vary the types that we cook. In this episode, Martha shows how to make four tasty dishes using vegetables that may not be in everyone’s regular rotation: steamed artichokes with tarragon butter, braised leeks, fried okra and whole roasted garlic.
