Champagne & Good Food, Marilyn Monroe cookbook Share | Options

[Paju]

Thanks for the explanation Alan (IMG:http://d2eae8pjw8pj4b.cloudfront.net/boards/style_emoticons/default/smile1.gif) I love that Marilyn tried Sunday roast!

The Sunday roast we had was a plate with the roast, vegetables, gravy and the Yorkshire pudding. They had two options for the roast: either beef or a vegetarian roast. I tried the vegetarian version out of curiosity (my mother had the beef), and I really enjoyed it. Here's a photo of both (IMG:http://d2eae8pjw8pj4b.cloudfront.net/boards/style_emoticons/default/smile1.gif)

I wanted to ask if you know or have read anywhere if Marilyn liked chicken liver pate'? I have found a
wonderful recipe and my husband just loves it so I made it, (and must say It came out rather well).

You know, I can't say that I've heard that, but don't let that stop you from making it. She did eat liver sometimes though.

I thought that I had read that some where in one of the books that I own. And my hubby always insist that I have pate'
always in the fridge LOL! Anyhow thank you for answering my question. How are things by the way with you presonally?
Well I hope....things have been very good for me.
Also I do hope that your book is coming along as well. You must know that you have us all here salivating with anticipation
for it! Hehe!
Anyhow, again thanks for the reply!
Hugs!

I'm doing just fine, thank you for asking (IMG:http://d2eae8pjw8pj4b.cloudfront.net/boards/style_emoticons/default/smile1.gif) I have more time now than I've had in a long time, so I really hope to put hours and hours to good use and finally finish the cookbook!

I had to share this with you.

The receipts, all written out to "Marilyn Monroe" or "M Monroe" and from either Beekman Market or A. Fitz & Sons Meat Market, based three blocks her New York apartment, show what Hollywood's brightest star was eating.

Purchases include artichokes, eggs, English muffins, cucumber, radishes, strawberry jam, cheddar cheese, corn-on-the-cob, strawberries, endive, steaks, milk, lamb chops and chicken.

The receipts are to be sold by an anonymous source at an Bonhams and Butterfields entertainment memorabilia sale in Los Angeles on December 21, when they are estimated to fetch a modest �470.


This was in 2008. I wonder who bought the receipts...

But I'm going to build something around Marilyn's list! My mind is already full of ideas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

This is the front of the store now!

I found this from Juliens!

"A large group of 32 meal receipts from the MGM Studios cafe dated between September 5 November 10, 1958, with itemized listings of the food and beverages Monroe ordered while filming Some Like It Hot at the studio. Some receipts have delivery notations "to Stage 3" and "to dressing room." On one receipt dated September 25, 1958, the order includes two hamburger steaks, "1 well done/ 1 rare/ 2 cottage and fruit salads/ 1 ice coffee/ 1 milk/ well done lunch send on stage 3/ rare lunch send to dressing room." Some of the receipts indicate that meals were for others, including "Lunch for Miss Reis - Lunch for Maid." All but one receipt is dated, and frequently ordered items include ice cream, double sirloin, ham and cheese, pot of coffee, lox and cream cheese, donuts, pie a la mode, meatloaf, pastrami, Danish, and many other items."

Sirkku - found this interesting link.

http://photofriends.org/marilyn-monroe-the...private-person/

Talks about a cookbook Marilyn contributed a spaghetti sauce to.

'Marilyn Monroe was an excellent cook and loved to cook for guests, often creating elaborate and complex recipes. Marilyn contributed her spaghetti sauce recipe to Celebrities’ and Citizens’ Cookbook, a cookbook sponsored and sold by the Women’s Division of the Sherman Oaks Chamber of Commerce. In this photo, Barbara Eden (the genie in the television show I Dream of Jeannie) tastes Monroe’s spaghetti sauce. (Incidentally, the cookbook is a reference book available for perusal at the Science and Tech Department of LAPL’s Central Library in downtown Los Angeles.)'

Thank you! That is definitely interesting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile1.gif)

I tried to go after the SLIH meal papers last November but was outbid.

Just wanted to know if anyone knows where these pictures of her eating what looks like breakfast are from in
this dressing room? From the hair style it looks like "The Prince and The Showgirl". It looks like she's eating a
grape fruit. Sorry they are not larger, I came across these at this size. If anyone knows the information
behind these please share and if you have them larger please please share! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

I have recently come across something very interesting. Since discovering this wonderful project you are working on whenever I read anything about our Gal I always make a note to myself to look out for things food related. In the book "Marilyn In Manhattan" which I highly recommend. One passage was Amy greene mentioning that when Marilyn stayed with her and Milton in Connecticut she liked to have scrambled eggs with capers and anchovies for breakfast. I thought that was very interesting! I love capers so much and plan on trying eggs with them, anchovies are something I can not enjoy but I just wanted to pass this on and get others thoughts.
