Today's Guests, Products, and Services

Visiting with Faith Ford
Faith Ford earned five Emmy and two Golden Globe nominations for her role as Corky Sherwood on the smash hit "Murphy Brown"; she later costarred in the sitcom "Hope & Faith" with Kelly Ripa. She talks about the character she plays on the show, her love of cooking, and her eagerness to join Martha and prepare the Perfect Chocolate Cake, No. 26 on our 30 Things Everyone Should Know list.

The Best Bakers
Who are the best bakers in America? We wanted to know, so we searched the country and selected the five with the most delicious recipes. See the first of the Best Bakers today, when Mark McGough and Martha make his Pecan Sticky Buns.

The Martha Pot Rack
Our pot rack was custom made to match the scale of the set. We ordered it from a commercial kitchen supplier to our specifications in stainless steel. To pick the right rack for your kitchen, first decide where you want it to hang and measure the space. Determine the desired width, length, and height from which it will be suspended. Then choose a finish, such as copper, stainless steel, or brushed nickel. Next, choose appropriate hooks on which to hang the pots; we used a double hook. If you don't want a custom-made rack, you can do a quick search on the Internet to find suppliers of pot racks for the home kitchen.
