NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The ninth season of Martha Stewart's Emmy®-nominated cooking show, Martha Bakes, will premiere on PBS stations nationwide beginning Saturday, February 3, 2018 (check local listings). The program will be presented in association with WETA Washington, D.C., the flagship public broadcaster in the nation's capital.

The ninth season of Martha Bakes takes viewers on a sweet, world-wide, culinary journey exploring treasured cookie recipes from regions in Europe, South America, Australia, New Zealand and more.
