The new recipe of the month is up and it’s a house favourite. Vatrouskis. I realise to my horror that I’ve been calling these VaStrouskis for about a year and the blog is littered with spelling mistakes to correct (ditto my crazy spelling of Anna Mae Wong which I still have to fix). I feel [...]

William Powell’s Vatrouskis
Silver Screen Suppers Towers is as clean as a new pin. My parents are coming to visit for the very first time tomorrow and I want to make a very good impression. It’s a big deal for me have taken the step to find somewhere to live on my lonesome and I really hope they [...]
William Powell’s Vastroukis
Oh what a weekend! A fantastic night out with Nazimova, Marijana, Sasha, Jasminka and many folk I haven’t seen for a long while jumping up and down to the Penny Black Remedy – man they ROCKED! And to the other extreme, a photo shoot with three clasically trained musicians I’ll be performing with in the [...]
William Powell’s Vastroukis, Rudolph Valentino’s Secret Spaghetti Sauce and Agnes Ayres’ Chocolate Mousse
What a lovely lunch on Sunday. Jeanne was here from Atlanta – we had never met before but have corresponded about many Silver Screen Suppers recipes. She makes me laugh like a drain with her emails and pictures of things like Gene Kelly’s Greatest Man Sandwich in the World with a big bite taken out [...]
Joan Crawford’s Cheese Straws, William Powell’s Vastroukis and Vincent Price Goulash
The Goulash has been in the slow cooker overnight and I’m about to construct a big batch of BISQUICK so that I can make some JC Cheese Straws as I have a BIG lunch party today. It’s a bit of a welcome-back-the-newlyweds party for Grace and Douglas. Wedding guests William, Cary, James and Daryl are [...]
William Powell’s Vatrouskis version 2
I made a second batch of the Vatrouskis this morning and took them into work. A big hit. I may have to make another lot tomorrow as they went on the special “treats” spot around 9.40 and were gone by 9.45! Might try a variation with filo pastry sometime. Paulette’s suggestion that adding a few [...]
William Powell’s Vatrouskis and Joan Crawford’s Peanut Butter and Bacon Canapes
I’m in a drunken stupour at 8pm listening to Blur’s “Girls and Boys” on the radio and feeling a special relationship to the bassline just because I sat next to Alex James on Market Kitchen and absorbed some of his aura. Oh how lovely. Maybe this is what the fans of the stars of the [...]
William Powell’s Beets Piquants
Oh the lovely William. His moustache puts me in mind of Charley’s. I am so, so, so loving my new home. Boxes everywhere and lots of scrabbling going on every time I need to find anything but I’m loving it. 10 year old Shirley popped in for a snoop around on Saturday and her reaction [...]
William Powell’s Baked Artichokes With Cheese
“Cultivate solitude and quiet and a few sincere friends…” I wholeheartedly agree William as I pursue my weekend of self-imposed solitude. There has been much cooking and much writing already and tomorrow I will speak to no-one. I’ve done enough talking this week, now for some peace and quiet! I kicked off my Silver Screen [...]
William Powell’s Beets Piquants
“Cultivate solitude and quiet and a few sincere friends, rather than mob merriment, noise and thousands of nodding acquaintances.” I am trying to William, but it is DECEMBER and therefore I have the double whammy of Christmas and my birthday which, I’m afraid, always results in mob merriment. I guess I’ll just have to relax [...]
