The year was 1929. As a fund raiser, the Beverly Hills
Womans Club put together a unique collection of recipes, with contributions
from many silent-screen stars of the day. It appears that the stars'
offerings were written mostly by themselves, hence the author's verbatim
transcriptions, punctuation, and all.
Each of the over 75 recipes includes a photo of the star
and short bio, gleaned from hours of research and condensation.
The forward, written by Will Rogers, begins the book.
