5.0 out of 5 stars Good Autobiography / Good Cookbook, November 13, 1998
This review is from: In the Kitchen with Elinor Donahue: Favorite Memories and Recipes from a Life in Hollywood (Paperback)
I must preface this review by stating that I am one of Elinor's sonsj, so this review is somewhat biased.

I read the book last night and beleive it will be a great read for anyone interested in television. Elinor highlights her career and much of the book is focused on shows she's acted in (Father Knows Best, The Odd Couple, Dr. Quinn) as well as shows produced by her husband, my father - Harry Ackerman (Bewitched, Dennis the Menace, Gidget).

I can attest to the tasty-ness of many of the recipies as I've eaten her creations for over thirty years!

This was a labor of love for my Mom and it shows. I recommend this as a great gift for lovers of "Hollywood" and cooking!

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL! Warmly written and filled with great recipes., January 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: In the Kitchen with Elinor Donahue: Favorite Memories and Recipes from a Life in Hollywood (Paperback)
I _LOVE_ this book. I found it to be very unique, and different from most celebrity cookbooks ... It is very warmly written, a veritable treasure trove of fascinating little insights into Hollywood's biggest names (and their favorite recipes), and shows Elinor Donahue to be an exceptionally kind, lovely person. She also includes a large number of her own favorite recipes, which look delectable -- and which I can't wait to try. (My copy is studded with bookmarks, since there are so many dishes I'm eager to make.) I love it both as reading material, and as an outstanding cookbook. I'll be buying additional copies to give as gifts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elinor's engaging collection of recipes and memories., May 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: In the Kitchen with Elinor Donahue: Favorite Memories and Recipes from a Life in Hollywood (Paperback)
Elinor re-affirms her fans thoughts that she is indeed a warm and facinating person. Her collection of favorite foods and rememberances are entertaining as well as an insight into her life and dreams. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves TV history, great food, and, of course, Elinor Donahue.
