Softcover. Condition: gut. 1967. I bought this old used book after seeing it on a fb page where they showed the cover and 1 potato cake recipe. When we opened it and saw all the stars and rockers of the 60's with pictures of them with their recipes including a little story for each one, wow, it took me back to my flower power lovechild days of yore. If you're a baby boomer and you can find this book, buy it and enjoy. Thinking this weekend we are gonna make Davy Jones from The Monkees "Orange Kiss Me Cake" On a side note I love that on the inside of my cover it says "Merry Christmas Mary Beth & Jim Love, Mom 1967" Author Roberta Ashley was a teen columnist for "This Week" magazine who interviewed many celebrities. The intro says she asked many of them for favorite recipes to put together this book. Celebrities who contributed recipes include: The Rolling Stones, Omar Sharif, Jane Fonda, The Byrds, Leonard Nimoy, Larry Hagman, Barbra Streisand, Paul Revere, The Mamas and the Papas, Sally Field, Eva Marie Saint, Carol Lawrence, Dave Clark, Mike Nesmith, Sam the Sham, Jack Jones, Lesly Gore, Caroll Burnett, The Robbs, The Buckinghams, Noel Harrison, Paul Anka, The Cyrkle, Bobby Vinton, Donovan, Sonny and Cher, Herman's Hermits, Mickey Dolenz, Mike McCallum, Marlo Thomas, Keith Allison, The Yardbirds, Dwayne Hickman, Gary Lewis, Patti Page, Bobby Darin, Peaches and Herb, Bob Denver, Barbara Feldon, Peter Tork, Sybil Burton Christopher, Davy Jones, Chad Stuart, Soupy Sales, Liza Minelli, Petula Clark, Mark Lindsay, Simon and Garfunkel, Dr West's Medicine Show and Junk Band, Smokey and His Sister, The Supremes and Don Adams I bought this cookbook with my allowance money, at age 13. The family had great fun, making Herman's a Hermits toad-in-the-hole, Paul Revere's chili, and a Monkee Meal, with Mike Nesmith's stroganoff, Peter Tork's Mad Mandarin Salad, and Davy Jones's Kiss Me Cake. All the recipes are easy enough for teens to cook for their parents, unaided, and would probably have been appreciated by college students, off on their own. My sister just today sent me my battered, taped together book. I might make Gary Lewis's Tuna Treat for dinner.
