Culinary queen Martha Stewart is collabing with Maman on a new summer menu

This summer, there’s something very French and very Martha to look forward to: a menu that represents a collaboration between Maman café and bakery and celebrity lifestyle authority Martha Stewart. It’s Maman’s 10th anniversary and Stewart’s 100th cookbook, so it’s a great time for the two forces to join.

Maman, French for “mom,” serves coffee in toile-patterned to-go cups and their pastries on chic blue and white vintage plates if you stay in house to eat. With locations in New York City and along the East Coast all the way down to Florida (and internationally in Montréal and Toronto), the powerhouse will be serving five menu items developed by Martha Stewart’s test kitchen staff and Maman co-founder Elisa Marshall—who says she grew up watching Martha Stewart’s show and idolizing her.

When the season changes, a new collection of five limited-time menu items will drop—and this will happen three more times during the yearlong collaboration.

For summer, the five new items are: a tomato tart from Martha’s new cookbook, her signature Red Iced Tea, a crème brûlée sugar bun which is described as a brûléed riff on Maman’s famed pastry, a kitchen sink cookie and a turkey cobb sandwich.

An in-depth description of each menu item:

• The tomato tart has cherry tomatoes, fontina cheese, roasted garlic & fresh thyme captured in a flaky, all butter crust.
• The iced tea is made with cold steeped berry-infused hibiscus iced tea served with muddled fresh raspberries, whole blueberries & citrus wheels, and garnished with fresh mint.
• The sugar bun is a sugar-crusted croissant with a caramelized top, filled with homemade vanilla pastry cream.
• The kitchen sink cookie has a little bit of everything in it (like a kitchen sink): dark chocolate, coconut, sour cherries, apricots and toasted pecans.
• Finally, the sandwich is made with oven roasted, antibiotic free turkey with candied bacon, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, romaine, basil leaves and Dijonnaise served on country bread. 

The specialty menu items are available at most Maman locations from now until September when the autumn items will be unveiled (and there will be new seasonal rollouts in November and December as well). Happy eating!
