I had such a fun time hanging out on zoom with three fellow movie star recipe obsessives a few Sundays ago. Karie Bible of the lovely Hollywood Kitchen Show gathered myself, Fritzi Kramer of Movies Silently and Samantha Ellis of Musings of a Classic Film Addict together for the first in a series of guacamole...
One of the bad habits I have as a person prone to clutter is over-buying of ingredients. I’m not as bad as the people in Marie Kondo’s book who buy thousands of toilet rolls or stockpile hundreds of toothbrushes, but I am certainly guilty of it to a lesser degree when it comes to foodstuffs....
You need teeny tiny brown shrimp for this dish. I think that potted shrimp is a very, very British thing, and I’m not sure where else in the world you can get these little fellas. I’ve been doing some trawling around the net for info but I can’t work it out. It doesn’t help that...
I had two avocados knocking around the place so figured some guacamole wouldn’t go amiss. Much to the amazement of all of Lawrence’s 1,579 Facebook friends he’s off the booze for a month. He arrived proudly brandishing 4 cans of Kaliber – an alcohol-free lager. In discussion towards the end of the evening I mentioned...
Boris went viral this week! A big thank-you to all the readers who emailed me a link to his guacamole recipe – it’s all over the place on t’interweb. I took it as a sign that it should be the recipe of the month – and so it is – you can see it here...
Sometimes what you need is a big old steak and kidney pie and here is one made exactly to a recipe by Boris. It’s only appropriate that Vic should be a guest for a pie like this, as the Universal Monsters song he co-wrote includes a few lines about Boris Karloff in Frankenstein. I do...
My number one passion is Roller Derby. I absolutely love it. So Rosalind and Jimmy didn’t bat an eyelid when I suggested we watch “Kansas City Bomber” with Racquel Welch playing a red hot rollergirl while we waited for Boris’s pie to cook. It is probably now my favourite ever trashy movie. When Racquel made...
Oh yum, yum. Boris’s pie was GOOD. Charley C. came over for dinner and we ate half of it between us. It was quite a faff to make but I think it was worth it. Best part of the evening was watching Charley try to hula hoop. He just flung it around his body and...
“The monster was the best friend I ever had.” Aw Boris, that’s so SAD! I am so lucky that I have such wonderful friends. And some who REALLY love the Silver Screen Suppers project too. King loves it so much that he made a great big gorgeous pie for us last night EXACTLY to Boris’s...
