Jew Eat Yet's tribute to Arlene FrancisPosted Oct 29th 2007 5:49PM by Marisa McClellanI have a strange fascination with old recipes and cookbooks from the fifties and sixties (which you might have figured out from all my vintage recipe posts). Danny Miller, a writer out of LA who blogs at Jew Eat Yet and mostly writes about movies, music and television, wrote a tribute post last week about Arlene Francis, in honor of her 100th birthday. She was a a regular on "What's My Line" and in 1961 wrote a cookbook called No Time for Cooking. In it, she extols the virtues of casual parties (although no casual party I've ever thrown has looked like that) and items like Luxury Loaf. Go check out Danny's complete post for the full skinny on the food that inspired his mother and countless other women in the early sixties.
