i don't have diana millay's cookbook but i do have her silly book "the power of halloween"

She used to have some pretty silly recipes on her website, too. And this is no lie:

Cheese and Crackers:

Grasp trisket, invert cannister of cheeze whiz, depress nozzle.

I could not possible make this stuff up.

Well, Diana's book is called "I'd rather eat..."  The great lady did not say anything about actual COOKING, now did she???

Grayson had a recipe for a grape dessert that was published in at least two daytime TV mags back around 1970-71.  In interviews she mentioned vitella tonnata and carpaccio (which is sort of like beef sushi), the latter of which she first sampled at Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy, as among her favorite dishes.  She was known for her flair with Mexican cookery but in the Sixties identified herself as a French chef (I think this may have been Julia Child's influence).

Best, G.

No, she doesn't mention cooking in the title. But as you'll see in the cookbook she does enjoy cooking as well as eating.

I believe the grape dish was called Green Grapes Victoria, and I've been trying to locate that recipe for years!  Does anyone out there know the actual recipe Grayson used?

Hi Charles, I have it at home and if I can remember, I will post it in this thread tomorrow.  It sounds like fun but I have never tried it.

luciaphil,

it was you who first turned me on to ms.lee in the "idol thoughts".i had never even heard of her.

but she's the worst!it's like cooking with the "stepford wives".wierd sort of 1950's era back-of-the-box cookery.
i like it when she adds some sort of flavoring extract to canned icing and uses it to frost a cake.

it comes on saturday morning so sometimes i watch it with my coffee in disbelief.

You're not going to believe this!  Yesterday a package came in the mail for me.  Inside were some old issues of Afternoon TV that I won off eBay, and they were all from 1969.  Of course, there were a lot of great articles on DS, but lo and behold, there was Grayson's recipe for Green Grapes Victoria, accompanied by a photo of Grayson and Thing!!  It's a dessert made with green grapes, rum, whipped cream, vream cheese and other items.  I'll definitely give a copy to Jim Pierson along with the Virginia Vestoff recipe I found to get started with a new Celebrity Cookbook!
