Pearls Kitchen

by Pearl Bailey

Pearl's Kitchen contains about a hundred recipes, from Pearl Bailey's own specialties ("Lamb chops Simpin Else," "Hamburger All The Way," "Macaroni and Cheese If I Say So Myself") to favorite recipes from friends who range from Mom and Pop Frank, fans she has never met but with whom she corresponds, to Bing Crosby, Carol Burnett, Tony Bennett (his mother's lasagna), Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Burt Reynolds, Perle Mesta, and Victor Borge. Pearl likes to keep eveything simple and reliable; these are recipes every cook will enjoy making. She also likes to keep everything economical. --From publisher description.
