My photo of Joan’s steak was rotten so here’s a picture of one of the things that made it so gorgeous. Joan sure knows what she is doing on the steak front. Roquefort, mustard and butter on top. Oh yes, yes, yes. I didn’t have Roquefort but I had Stilton – I am sure if [...]

Joan Crawford’s Salami Sandwiches
by Jenny on 29. Dec, 2012 in Joan Crawford
It’s been a fabulous Christmas. I was VERY pleased with my turkey. Vic and Corinna and Isaac came over and we had the traditional Xmas dinner with all the trimmings, fiery Christmas pudding, mince pies and a huge pile of cheese and biscuits. Yum yum. We kicked of with Gin & Its in celebration of [...]
Joan Crawford’s Salad Number One
by Jenny on 25. Jul, 2012 in Joan Crawford
I ate quite a lot of rich food in Amsterdam including this: in honour of Vincent Price’s Hotchpotch of Curly Kale… so on Saturday I was craving a Joanie salad. There has been a tin of pineapple slices in my cupboard for ages so I made this and it was absolutely delicious. You can’t quite [...]
Joan Crawford’s Wilted Spinach Salad
by Jenny on 05. Jun, 2012 in Joan Crawford
Hmm. This was tasty. I had it with a Vincent Price burger that I retrieved from the back of the freezer. It had Roquefort cheese inside. Mmmm… Here’s Joan’s simple but effective recipe: “Wilted Spinach Salad: I pour hot bacon grease and vinegar over the spinach leaves until they sag, and then sprinkle crisp bacon [...]
Joan Crawford’s Charcoal Broiled Steak
by Jenny on 12. Mar, 2012 in Joan Crawford
A mustard mystery of Miss Marple magnitude in Melton Mobray this weekend! Oh my goodness the intrigue! Trix, Jane and myself made a pilgrimage to the Great British Mustard Bash: a six hour round trip to see if my Colonel Mustard’s Mustard’s Chocolate Beer Mustard had pleased the judges – if only for its beautiful [...]
Joan Crawford’s Steak with Roquefort Sauce
by Jenny on 14. Feb, 2012 in Joan Crawford
“Bedroom problems? There is absolutely nothing in my bedroom that bothers me!” Me neither Doris, me neither! Although I WOULD like to have a white telephone beside the bed. Ignoring the fact that I don’t actually have a land line… I am indulging myself on Valentine’s night with the biggest rib eye steak I could [...]
Silver Screen Canapes – Guild of Food Writers’ Recipe Treasury
by Jenny on 05. Feb, 2012 in Gloria Swanson, Joan Crawford
I was thrilled to be invited to contribute a recipe to the Guild of Food Writers’ Treasury, and it’s gone live today on their website – GFW Recipe of the Month – I snuck in two as they are for little film star nibbles. Gloria Swanson’s Caviar Canapes – seen below – and the legendary [...]
Recipe of the Month – Joan Crawford’s Steak with Roquefort Sauce
by Jenny on 01. Feb, 2012 in Joan Crawford
The recipe of the month is up. I was thinking about what I would like to eat on Valentine’s Night. I will treat myself to a nice juicy steak prepared Joanie style with a good bottle of wine. I might watch Pillow Talk. I love the scene with Doris’s heated blanket lead trailing along behind [...]
Joan Crawford’s Salami Canapes
by Jenny on 19. Dec, 2011 in Joan Crawford
Christmas came early this year to The Palace of Solitude as yesterday I cooked Christmas dinner for three. Wow, what a lot of work! But it was worth it and I was very pleased with my Vincent Price “Roast Turkey Wayside Inn” which I’ll write about later on the Vincentennial Cookblog. For canapes I made [...]
Silver Screen Sunday – Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
by Jenny on 25. Sep, 2011 in Joan Crawford
Oh yum yum Joan Crawford did us proud today. We had JC Cheese Straws, JC Salami Sandwiches and JC Peanut Butter and Bacon Canapes. Main course was her legendary Meatloaf (delicious) with her own recipe for Green Peas (cooked with lettuce and spring onions) and some Vincent Price Potatoes Dauphinoise. Dessert was the very, very [...]
Joan Crawford Wilted Spinach Salad
by Jenny on 16. Jun, 2011 in Joan Crawford
I have a Vincent Price Quiche Lorraine in the oven and as this involves a large amount of bacon which provides a large amount of bacon fat I thought I’d have Joan’s spinach salad alongside. It’s hot bacon fat mixed with vinegar that makes her salad wilted. Mmmmmm….. I know that I shouldn’t praise my [...]
Joan Crawford’s Charcoal Broiled Steak
by Jenny on 30. Mar, 2011 in Joan Crawford
I got Tiger Blood man! Today I was feeling a bit sorry for myself. Then I thought, “What would Joan Crawford do?” and decided she’d cook herself a steak, have a glass of wine and get over it, which is exactly what I have done. To hell with it, Joan would put it all down [...]
Joan Crawford’s Salami Canapes
by Jenny on 13. Mar, 2011 in Joan Crawford
Bee Boy came round last night with a lovely cardboard box full of 78s. He’d grabbed a batch from his local charity shop and there were some real gems. Favourite was a brilliant tango by Xavier Cugat and second fave an Ethel Smith rendition of “Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps”. We devoured the leftover Vatrouskis, some of [...]
Joan Crawford Canapes
by Jenny on 06. Mar, 2011 in Joan Crawford
I’m holding my head a bit today Joan. Terrifically hungover. Last night was the annual and totally fabulous OSCARS party at Olivier and Nick’s house. This year we were 12 and everyone looked very festive and posh in their bow ties, fancy frocks, top hats and face paint… I made Joan’s Bisquick Cheese Straws (with [...]
Joan Crawford’s Salami Hors D’Oeuvres
by Jenny on 05. Mar, 2011 in Joan Crawford
I wish they still made stockings like this. My knees could do with some big old hearts to cover up the bruises got from falling over in the street last week. It was quite a spectacular one as I was holding a large open umbrella above my head. Mary Poppins I wasn’t… The ladies of [...]
