Roger Moore’s 007 Spuds

Roger Moore’s 007 Spuds

This is a cute little recipe for when you fancy potatoes dauphinoise but you don’t possess a fancy mandolin to slice the spuds thinly. Just chop your potatoes into little dice instead! This recipe appeared in a kids’ cookbook, hence the simple way it is...
Tony Curtis’ Hungarian Goulash

Tony Curtis’ Hungarian Goulash

This is an easy peasy and very dependable goulash recipe from Boinie, who I didn’t know until I googled it, was of Hungarian heritage.  Goulash is one of those things like chilli, where there are a million different ways of making it, but some things crop up in...
George Kennedy’s Sunday Caesar Salad

George Kennedy’s Sunday Caesar Salad

I am a stickler for sticking to recipes, so naturally, I made this on a Sunday.  Just like Vincent Price’s Friday Chicken, it would have seemed wrong to make it on a day other than the one specified. This was on the test-cook list for the forthcoming Cooking the...

Robert Wagner’s Chili

Robert Wagner’s Chili

For a Christmas gift Mr Rathbone pledged to test 3 recipes for the forthcoming Cooking the Detectives book for me.  What a lovely present!  This was the first one ticked off the list.  A very tasty chili courtesy of Robert Wagner. The above pic was taken before the...
Raymond Burr’s Chili Supreme

Raymond Burr’s Chili Supreme

I am never going to use dried beans again (unless a movie star specifically tells me to).  They never, ever go soft for me, no matter how long I cook the little beggers.  I cooked the beans for this chilli as Raymond directed me to, with salt pork (in my case...
