These are stupendous. I defy anyone to make them and then resist eating at least 6 or 7 before guests arrive. This is a photo reference for the Joan Crawford Cookbook when it comes out in November… I’m working on it like a mad thing to get it ready on time.
I’m trying to get in touch with Frank DeCaro and Stephen Bledsoe to ask permission to include the recipes featured in the Dead Celebrity Cookbook and on The Best of Everything website respecively. Do you know either of these fellows dear reader? I’ve tried all email addresses I can muster up, with no luck…
I am thinking of calling the book “Cooking With Joan Crawford” as I don’t want to give the impression it’s a cookbook that Joan wrote herself. Rather it is a collection of her recipes lovingly standardised and a celebration of Joan as a great cook as well as a great actress.
Invites to the Joan Crawford Virtual Reality Dinner Party will be going out soon – everyone is invited so drop me a line via the Contact page if you’d like to participate.

Hello, I am Stephen and the owner of the recipe. I purchased the recipe years ago and it was with a group of recipe requests that included Pearl Bailey, Danny Kaye and Jimmy Durante. Joan and Jimmy sent a recipe, but Pearl said she was writing a cookbook and couldn’t, and Danny Kaye was rather short and said he couldn’t due to so many requests. I see this was from years ago, but just came across this due to new AI features on Google. I have many JC items. Her monogrammed pillow cases, wardrobe with a photo of her in it, many documents that I havent sent to the JC website, all kinds of fun things. Thank you, Stephen
Oh, Stephen! Thanks so much for getting in touch. How fabulous that you have so many wonderful items owned by Joan. Interesting that Pearl wouldn’t proffer a recipe as she was writing a cookbook, her cookbook is actually one of my favourite cookbooks – it’s very funny. I included the Codfish recipe in my Cooking With Joan Crawford cookbook with an acknowledgment that I found it on the JC website. The book was such fun to write. Do you know who had originally asked for the recipes? Jenny
