If you've ever fantasized about feasting on Frank Sinatra's Barbecued Lamb, lunching on Lucille Ball's "Chinese-y Thing", diving ever-so-neatly into Joan Crawford's Poached Salmon, or wrapping your lips around Rock Hudson's cannoli and really, who hasn't? hold on to your oven mitts! In The Dead Celebrity Cookbook: Recipes and Ruminations from the Great Studio Commissary in the Sky, Frank DeCaro the flamboyantly funny Sirius XM radio personality best known for his six-and-a-half-year stint as the movie critic on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart collects hundreds of recipes passed on from legendary stars of stage and screen, proving that before there were celebrity chefs, there were celebrities who fancied themselves chefs. Their all-but-forgotten recipes rescued from out-of-print cookbooks, musty biographies, vintage magazines and dusty pamphlets suggest a style of home entertaining ripe for re-examination if not revival, while reminding intrepid gourmands that, for better or worse, Hollywood doesn't make celebrities (or cooks) like it used to.
