The Murder, She Wrote Cookbook!
The Murder, She Wrote Cookbook!
Hot on the heels of the Columbo cookbook, I am working on a Murder, She Wrote follow-up. The Murder, She Cooked book will contain the favourite recipes of Angela Lansbury and many of her wonderful co-stars. The signature dishes of classic Hollywood stars such as Janet Leigh, Cesar Romero, Cyd Charisse, Robert Vaughn, David McCallum, Tippi Hedren, June Havoc and many, many more will be included. It’s going to be fabulous!
The cookbook is in its early stages (and the publication date is still a long way off) but the call is out for test cooks. Would you like to be part of this fun project? EVERYONE WELCOME, whatever your cooking skills!
Choose your recipe, leave a comment below or contact me via this page and I’ll send you the recipe and a feedback form.
