Martha Stewart, 83, admits she doesn't know how to check her Instagram DMs

Martha Stewart revealed she doesn’t ‘even know’ how to check her Instagram direct messages.

Landing on TalkShopLive alongside chef Thomas Joseph’s show last Saturday, the 83-year-old entrepreneur promoted her 100th book release while openly discussing her struggles with digital technology skills.

The formerly incarcerated cook admitted: ‘Do you know I’ve never answered a DM.

‘I don’t even know where they are,’ she told her co-host while live on the video commerce platform.

She even quipped that she must have ‘million[s]’ of unread messages from fans, and promised to check them ‘one of these days.’

She mentioned, ‘To check messages, you first have to go to the messages section and then to the DM inbox. I must have several million messages. I really need to take a look at them one of these days.’

During the livestream, Stewart also plugged her 100th book titled Martha: The Cookbook which was released earlier this month.

The cookbook features 100 of her favorite recipes, along with stories and photos from her archive. 

Expressing her feelings during the live broadcast, she shared, ‘Assembling this book was truly fulfilling yet challenging as I had to narrow down my top 100 favorite recipes.’

‘There’s a lot of stuff for Christmas in the book. There’s lots of good holiday menus and there is the best Meyer lemon drop cocktail.’

On November 18, the book’s publisher Clarkson Potter — who Stewart has been working with since 1982 — took to Instagram to give fans a sneak peek at the cookbook’s contents.

The publishing giant described the project as ‘an intimate collection of 100 treasured recipes, along with stunning photos from her personal archives and the stories behind them. A must for anyone who has ever been inspired by the one and only Martha Stewart.’

They added in the caption: ‘Join Martha in the kitchen as she shares favorite recipes and invaluable tips. Learn how to cook her mother’s humble Potato Pierogi, her decadent Gougères, a comforting Apple Brioche Bread Pudding, and the famous Paella she makes for the luckiest friends who visit her in summer.

‘You’ll find something to satisfy everyone’s taste, whether it’s a simple meal you make for yourself, a weeknight family dinner, or a special celebration, recipes range from breakfast & brunch to soups & salads, hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, dinner, and of course dessert.’

Martha: The Cookbook — which was already been named a #1 New York Times bestseller — retails for $20.00.
