Martha Stewart makes fun of people who “can’t cook,” says 100th book

Martha Stewart has roasted people who “can’t cook” in a quirky new video promoting her 100th cookbook.

“You can’t cook, but I haven’t given up on you yet,” the lifestyle guru said as spa-like music played in the background in a campaign with Bilt Rewards posted on Instagram Monday.

Stewart, 83, asked social media users to share the video of “someone who can’t cook” before diving into her savage jabs.

“Some of us are born with the chef gene, but not you,” she said as a green screen filter showed strands of DNA.

“There’s a bag of spinach rotting in your fridge right now. This sucks. You look like a wild raccoon,” Stewart added while superimposed over a close-up of the wild animal.

She was then seen in front of a photo of an unimpressive cheese plate, saying: “Calling it ‘girls dinner’ doesn’t make her cook.”

“A 34-year-old man who doesn’t know how to peel a potato,” she said of the billionaire entrepreneur as she laughed at him. “Talk about being cooked.”

Jain replied in confusion, “Wait, what?”

Stewart was then shown standing next to a clone of herself, to which she turned and asked, “How do we save him?”

Holding a copy of the new cookbook, the clone replied, “Well, I’ve already written 999 books, but maybe they’ll finally get it with the 100th book.”

Stewart explained this “Martha: The Cookbook” can be purchased through Bilt, calling the resource “the loyalty program for your home and neighborhood.”

First Stewart agreed, doubling down on him, “Absolutely. I think this is one.”

The video then cuts to Stewart superimposed in front of a house surrounded by lush greenery.

“It’s me, Martha, and this is my cookbook,” she said pointing to the cover of the book.

“Now available in the Bilt Home Collection. You should order it because…” she said before returning to the beginning of the video, when she told viewers: “You can’t cook”.
