Gold Diggers of 1933 Bonus Bits

The Joan Blondell Cocktail plus recipes from the kitches of Ginger Rogers, Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler

Have you indulged yourself in the splendid Gold Diggers of 1933 yet? If not, here are a few extra bits and pieces to prompt you to get it in your diary.

For my beloved paid subscribers I’m sharing a few extra recipes from the stars who appear in this extravaganza, a cocktail named after Joan Blondell that appeared in the Latin Quarter Souvenir Book of Cocktails published in 1948.

This one will burst your balloons!

Plus recipes for Dick Powell’s Truck Driver’s Welsh Rarebit (who could resist with a name like that?!), Ruby Keeler’s Cold Ham with Egg Salad and a spectacular Ginger Rogers dinner party with a “continental piquancy.”

Here’s a plate of scrumptious-looking Joan Crawford Cheese Straws that my chum the Vincent Price expert Peter Fuller was tempted into making after reading the recent Horror D’Oevres post that included the recipe. Do send me pix of anything of the movie star bits and bobs you make my lovelies and I will share them…

Don’t they look good?!
