(My organic, buy-local hero, Alice Waters) |
The other cookbook is a spiral-bound book called Screen Cuisine with a really silly illustration on the front. I couldn't find an image of it and I don't have a fancy phone to snap a picture to share. I happened to browse through it and discovered it was published by the National Film Society. The list of recipes arefrom a cornucopia of famous people such as Rosemary Clooney's Viennese Goulash, Newman's Own Marinated Steak, Carol Burnett's Fresh Peach Souffle and Dean Martin's "Dean's Chix Dish." Wow-this is a classic. After each recipe is their "signature." I have to buy it just for the amusement. Only at a church bazaar could you find two such amazing recipe books. My husband, of course, rolled his eyes at the amount of books I brought home! You can't beat 50 cents a book.
This post is part of Beth Fish Reads Weekend Cooking. She reviewed The Wine Trials; 2011-a fantastic book about blind taste testing a variety of wines and their rankings. I know it is a useful book because I have the first edition-2008. My thoughtful husband gave it to me as a birthday and I still use it. A gift that keeps on giving! Even though I haven't tried all the wines in my version I'd love to take a look at this newer version. Thanks Beth Fish for a great reveiw!

Well Alice Waters is a must buy. She's a hero of mine too. I love what she has done to bring awareness to people and for children.
The Hollywood book is just too good to pass up. I think I'll keep my eye out for that -- but the chances of finding it in Pennsylvania are pretty slim, I bet.
Well, it sounds like they put the perfect person in charge of seeling the books! The Screen Cuisine would have been snatched up by yours truly if I had seen it. It just sounds like a really fun read!
