So Fun and Camp-y

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I agree with the other reviewers-this book is a lot of fun. It's got some great recipes but also some great stories about the celebs who offered the recipes and some gossip as well! I admit I might never cook something from this book, (but then again, some of the recipes look really good) but it's enough that I enjoyed reading it cover to cover and then passed it along to my mother (age 75+) who also enjoyed it. If you are buying this for an actual cookbook a la Food network, maybe not so much. And if you are buying this for someone who is 20-30 something and part of the reality tv generation, maybe not. Most of the celebs are older (they're dead, right?)but if you're a fan of classic movies and classic television this can't be beat for a guilty pleasure!

Trivia hounds rejoice!

I'm not a huge fan of celebrity cookbooks. I'm sure there are several celebs who are well known home chefs, perhaps some have even worked in the food industry, but by and large, judging by their humdrum recipes, vague directions and general lack of knowledge, it seems to me that most celebs eat out more than they stay in.
But, with that said, there are lots of fun recipes here, Elizabeth Taylor's Chicken with Avocado and Mushrooms, Gene Roddenberry's Lima Beans and Ham, Mabel King's Banana Fritters, Patrick Swayze's Chicken Pot Pie, Dom Deluise's Doodlewoppers and Madeline Kahn's Foot Cookies (no feet involved, only sugar, flour and regular cookie stuff)
Bette Davis was my Grandma Florence's second favorite actress (Debbie Reynolds was her first). When I was twelve, I came down with a bad case of bronchitis right before Thanksgiving vacation and my grandma stayed with me while my mother and stepfather left town to visit family.
Grandma wasn't a great cook, in fact, she was famous for her dreadful cooking (peanut butter and mint jelly sandwiches, buttered pizza, crunchy apple marshmallow strudel) so we ate jello, crackers and store bought pumpkin pie while watching old movies. I remember staying up late (my cough medicine made sleeping difficult) and watching A Pocketful of Miracles with Grandma, we both cried at the end (it is such a sweet movie, you really should check it out if you haven't seen it before).
Anyways, Bette Davis' Red Flannel Hash recipe caught my eye right off. First, there's the name, Red Flannel Hash. Does it contain flannel? Do you cook it in flannel? Neither it turns out, I made this hash of potatoes, beef and beets and posted a pic on my blog (with a few modern updates and it was delectable and pretty). I know my Grandma Flo would have loved it too.

Wanted Dead or Alive - Good Food
2. Dezember 2011
Von Donna K

What could be better than a good read with good recipes? And who knew that big stars like Joan Crawford and Bette Davis not only knew their way around a kitchen but also ate food that ordinary people love? Banana pudding is a holiday staple in our house - made the easy way, with pudding mix. Not this christmas! We're using Dusty Springfield's Banana Pudding recipe- made from scratch. And while I work in the kitchen I'll put her CD in and dance around the room. To quote the author, Frank DeCaro, we'll see if her banana pudding lives up to the same high standards that she set for her music!
That comment is an example of why this cookbook is such an enjoyable read. Frank DeCaro has done his homework. It's obvious that he enjoyed writing the book, and he is a big fan of these celebrities AND the recipes.From Anne Bancroft's Che Che Pasta to yvonne De Carlo's Exotic Chicken Ecstasy, he has given readers a vignette of the celebrities along with a recipe which is entirely "do-able" for anyone. From the appetizer to the desert, breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks - this is an enjoyable read which will result in good eats!
