It’s a Dinner and a Movie and Murder, She Cooked mash-up this month as I’m hosting a combined watch party - EVERYONE INVITED WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THE WORLD.

More details will follow, but if you fancy joining in, source The Murder Crack’d on DVD or via a streaming service, and make sure you have registered for access to my private chat room.

I’ll be running a Kojak Lollipop Lickathon during the movie (it’s a race to get to a completely clean lolly stick) so if you’d like to join in, make sure you have a lollipop about your person!

If you are new here you might be wondering what on earth Kojak has to do with The Mirror Crack’d - well it’s all to do with Miss Marple and my new book.

Signed copies are now available via my Etsy shop.

Non-signed books via Amazon and to order via your local bookshop if you are in the USA or UK.

Recipes from the kitchens of all the stars on the cover, plus many more. It’s a love letter to TV detectives and the dishes the mere mortals who played them liked to eat. Here’s a taster…

My video postcard for beloved benefactors (aka paid subscribers) this month is all about a cocktail created by two of the stars of The Mirror Crack’d, Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson.

I am also sharing

  • A recipe courtesy of Tony Curtis for Frankfurter Goulash (different to his goulash recipe in Cooking The Detectives)

  • Elizabeth Taylor’s recipe for Carne Tachonada de Puerto Vallarta - try saying that after a chocolate martini!

  • A sweet treat from Rock Hudson’s kitchen - how he likes his Cannoli

Subscribers keep the Silver Screen Suppers Towers oven on - extra goodies available for patrons of the arts!

Buy buying one of my books, or becoming a paid subscriber you will make me insanely happy and an angel will get its wings…

P.S. - if you voted for which dish I should cook on book launch day, a report is coming soon about what I cooked and ate!
