And recipes too!Jacobson pulls you in and takes you for a ride around the tawdry side of Tinseltown. Before you know it the book is done like a guilty cookie binge but alas you are left with the everlasting recipes. So moo down some more! Whip up some goose liver pate and pretend you are Monty Clift. Fading away, hoping he will have his old beautiful face back up in heaven before La Liz had to save him in the wreck that smashed it.
Or wish a peaceful rest for the sweet Sharon Tate and her poor unborn baby over some cheese enchiladas. Sharon's last meal.. But that's just the book! Jacobson's writing style is a gas.
Imagine sitting down with a cigarette girl working Ciro's and having her tell alllll about Gary Cooper and his huge uh, salamie. (I'll save the thrills for the book.)

Summary: Scrumptious scandal and delicious dishes
Review: What a treat of a book and what a cool concept!
The scandals are, of course, simply scandalous and
delightful to read. The recipes are just to die for, my dears.
It is such fun to cook up some of the recipes and sit in
a quiet corner sipping California wine (of course),
munching on the sumptuous snacks and soaking up the simply scandalous stories!
I'll bet this author is a riot at dinner parties!
Dishing Hollywood is a must read and I'm buying copies for Xmas gifts this year.
