Here’s a post from before my move where I was trying to eat as much food from my frozen archives as I possibly could. Marilyn’s lasagne is GOOD my friends, very good! I am in a “use it up and wear it out” phase at the moment and this dish was...

Excitement is mounting about the movie Blonde. I haven’t had a chance to see it at the cinema so I’ll be tuning in on Wednesday when it premieres on Netflix. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a bit of event TV in the diary and I’m...

When I heard that two cookbooks owned by Marilyn Monroe were up for auction (thank-you Di and Amy for the tip-offs) I immediately went down an enormous rabbit hole of research. I was here, there, and everywhere in the Google Machine finding out what time the auction...

Time to say goodbye to Wookey Hole – Mr Rathbone is getting a new fridge freezer… I shall miss this guideline about how long things should be frozen for: I don’t have this on my freezer door. Hence of course, I feel that I am at liberty to...

When “Fragments: Poems, Intimate Notes, Letters by Marilyn Monroe” was published in 2010, there was much excitement at Silver Screen Suppers Towers, as it contained a RECIPE! Scribbled out by Marilyn in pencil, it’s a very detailed recipe...

I knew it was coming, but I took my eye off the ball and here it is! (thanks for the tip off Jeanne!) The Holy Grail of Silver Screen Suppers recipes – a real Marilyn recipe. Until now the best we had was the fact that she liked to serve carrots and peas...

“I don’t want to make money. I just want to be wonderful.” Same here Marilyn. It’s rare that I write a post without it relating to a star’s actual recipe but this week has been Marilyn week and there is still NO RECIPE. I guess Marilyn...

“From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend reading it.” My meeting on Thursday was fabulous. I am inspired, enthused and excited about the nebulous entity that will be the book AFTER Silver...
