Easy Eats and Frugal Feasts: The Starving Artist's Cookbook

by Christina Hamlett

Overview

"You'll probably starve," my mother said when I moved into my first studio apartment.
This wasn't just a reflection of her belief that any career in the arts (but especially the theatre) would doom me to certain poverty; it was a fact-based observation that the extent of my culinary skills up until I turned 20 involved making toast, heating soup and putting frosting and sprinkles on store-bought shortbread cookies.
Determined to prove her wrong, I bought a cookbook, stocked my new little kitchen with pans and utensils, and recruited my fellow actors for fun after-rehearsal dinners. The memories-and the menus-live on in this essential guide for anyone with (aspiring) champagne taste on a (starving artist) beer budget.

About the Author

Former actress/director Christina Hamlett is an award-winning author whose credits to date include 40 books, 165 stage plays, and squillions of articles and interviews that appear online and in trade publications worldwide. She is also a script consultant for stage and screen (which means she stops a lot of really bad scripts from coming to theatres near you) and a professional ghostwriter (which does not mean she talks to dead people). Her love of cooking and entertaining continues to this day but is much more fun in the company of her gourmet chef husband. Between the two of them, they now own over 200 cookbooks, a quantum leap from "Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Cookbook," which she bought in 1972 during the same week she moved into her first studio apartment.
