Eat Like the Stars: James Dean

In my December column for the lovely Eat Drink Films, I get to find out from the lovely Greg Swenson how he went about writing the brilliant Recipe for Rebels cookbook.

Greg is now a bosom cyberchum of mine. We regularly correspond about film star recipes since he emailed me out of the blue, in February 2015 about a Sal Mineo recipe for mini pizzas… which I am pleased to say, made it into the book.  Ah, friendships being made via the power of film stars’ favourite recipes – I LOVE IT!
