5.0 out of 5 stars Reel Fun, July 14, 2010

This review is from: Reel Food From Reel Women: Our Favorite Dishes (Paperback)

I've never considered myself much of a cook and don't own many recipe books, but Reel Food From Reel Women is a cookbook that someone like me can use and enjoy again and again. The recipes are fun and easy to make (even for a novice), but even better, they come from filmmakers, writers and entertainers from my world. I'm a big Xena fan, so I couldn't wait to try Katherine Fugate (writer), Adrienne Wilkinson (Eve/Livia) and Hudson Leick's (Callisto) contributions. Authors like Linda Crist and Lori L. Lake first were on my radar screen with Xena fanfic before they became successful novelists. Then there's Claudia Christian, a favorite of mine from Babylon 5, and familiar filmmakers like JD Disalvatore, Michelle Ehlen and Kelli Herd. Biographies and comments by the contributors are also included. I think this is a must have and a great gift for those who support women in film - and a fun one at that. I've made several of the recipes with great success!

Here is a list of all of the contributors: Brenda Adcock, Linda Andersson, Michele Balan, Ty Beh, Christina Bouajila, Carrie Carr, Claudia Christian, Linda Crist, Stacy Codikow, Desi Del Valle, J.D. Disalvatore, Michelle Ehlen, Adrienne Fishe, Catherine Fridey, Katherine Fugate, Nisha Ganatra, Rosser Goodman, Carmen Goodyear, Kelli Herd, Lori L. Lake, Hudson Leick, Maria Lynn, Bridget McManus, Fiona Metcalfe, Andrea Meyerson, Roberta Munroe, Jenni Olson, Francesca Prada, Safiya Songhai, Deborah Stewart, Anne Stirling, Briana Stockton, Adrienne Wilkinson, Laurie York, and many friends.

What a smart idea and a lot of fun! Fans get to see some of their favorite reel women who share recipes that are easy to make and delicious. The candid bios offer fans some new insights into the women so even if you don't cook, the book is a delight. I highly recommend this cookbook for anyone who is a fan of reel women.
