| STEWART GIVES PRISON COOKING LESSONS
Jailed lifestyle guru Martha Stewart is treating her fellow inmates to daily cooking lessons -- but she's only allowed to use a microwave.
Stewart is currently serving five months in a West Virginian women's prison for lying to federal investigators over a stock sale, and the only way she can cope with the humiliating strip searches, cramped conditions and loss of freedom is by indulging her passion for food.
Her lawyer, Walter Dellinger, says, "She's making the best of what's necessarily a difficult situation. There is no freedom. It's regimented. She has no privacy. They are subject to strip searches. But she's so resilient.
"She has a group she's teaching cooking to. She is trying to figure out innovative ways to do microwave cooking which is all they have.
"What she likes best about it, I think, is how much she likes the fellow inmates and the people who run the prison facility at Alderson, and the respect that they all seem to have for each other."
