Celebrities have a lesser known side to their lives, usually reserved for intimate friends and family... (from the Introduction)

{HISTORY}

Did you ever want to cook alongside Lucille Ball or drink a glass of bourbon with Dean Martin? How about breakfast with Jackie Kennedy or a barbecue with Frank Sinatra? Here's your chance...

In this very fun  vintage 1960s era cookbook, American actor and singer Dinah Shore gathered up 62 of her best Hollywood friends and asked them to submit a recipe for a fundraiser for the volunteer group Women For. The result is this Celebrity Cookbook, a fabulously fun collection of 65 recipes that covers first courses, entrees and desserts.

Laid out in equally fun fashion, each page is stylishly unique with recipe contributions written on personal letterhead, company stationary, and some even written in their own handwriting. Besides famous actors, recipes were also submitted by are well known politicians and authors of the day, giving readers and home cooks an intimate look into the kitchens of the 1960's celebrity set.
