Happy Fourth Birthday Cooking With Columbo

Happy Fourth Birthday Cooking With Columbo

Four years ago today my Columbo cookbook was put out into the world.   Writing this was so much fun and it has brought me huge joy ever since.  The thing that makes me most happy is knowing that people all around the world are cooking from it.  For example, Missy...

Gene Tierney’s V-8

Here's a suggestion of a beverage to accompany Gene Tierney's Leaning Tower  of Tuna (aka Tuna Salad Royal).  A refreshing glass of V-8. I stumbled across a V-8 ad featuring Gene whilst writing the previous post and that of course, sent me down a huge research rabbit...

Joe Santos’ One Hot Italian Night

I do love a recipe with a weird title, and this one was rustled up on One Cold British Night to much acclaim.  I had a DINNER GUEST.  This is such a rare occurrence in pandemic times that I was excited for days beforehand. There is a feeling here in the UK at the...

Marsha Hunt’s Ham – With Love

Fancy a boozy breakfast?  I can recommend this bonkers recipe. I do so love a recipe with a weird title and Marsha is in Murder, She Wrote so this was a MUST for the forthcoming Murder, She Cooked book. I also love a recipe that is effectively a menu too.  Everything...

Shelley Winters’ Caesar Salad

Shelley Winters’ Caesar Salad

I am a sucker for a Caesar and have tried a few movie star versions.  Grace Kelly's was so good it was Recipe of the Month way back in April 2019, Ruth Roman's method calls for coddled eggs and Jessica Walter's garlic oil required a bit of forward planning.  And so it...

Gloria Stuart’s Huacamale

Gloria Stuart’s Huacamale

Avocado on toast, 1930s style!  This is a brilliant way of using up an avocado that is past its best. Shove it through a sieve then mix some other stuff into it. You can either make it quite runny and use it as a salad dressing or, do as I did, make it a bit thicker...

Dinner and a Movie – Tales From The Crypt

When Mr R suggested we watch Tales from the Crypt for our Halloween movie, I went straight to the spreadsheet to see what I had that would be appropriate.  Luckily my pal Greg over at Recipes For Rebels included Joan Collins' recipe for Spaghetti Bolognese in his...

Brigitte Bardot’s Stuffed Artichokes

Aren't artichokes things of great beauty? Scary to cook though eh?  I love them but I rarely cook them as they are DAUNTING.  If you feel the same way as me, then read on, because this is a great recipe, I'll talk you through the tricky bits, and you'll feel like an...
