In a World of Celebrity Chefs, here's a Celebrity who Cooked

I was reading Huffington Post's Food section the other day, by the way it's a great place to catch up on the latest food stuff, and they had an article from the New York Times featuring Marilyn Monroe's stuffing recipe. Needless to say the thought of the original blond bombshell cooking intrigued me. But while reading through the story I was surprised to learn she was quite the cook.


Her stuffing recipe was originally written on an insurance company's piece of paper and can be seen in a new book full of little clippings from her life, called "Fragments." The ingredients list is a mile long, and has items such as livers, soaked sour-dough bread and hard-boiled eggs; and you can tell that whoever created this recipe has thorough understanding of the kitchen and firm grasp of flavors. The writers of the NYT piece say the resulting dressing is complicated, complex, and delicious.

Hopefully someday I'll get a chance to make it.
