The Celebrity Cookbook

Over 100 Recipes From Real Legends

A Culinary Journey Through History
The Celebrity Cookbook explores the truly important question: What on earth did famous people eat?
Part cookbook, part comedy, part historical expedition gone slightly off course, this book is your guide to the favourite meals and drinks of emperors, rock stars, poets, pirates, and philosophers—some of whom really should have seen a nutritionist.
The Celebrity Cookbook is a no-nonsense, laugh-out-loud collection of the actual (and occasionally ridiculous) favourite meals and drinks of the world’s most famous people—alive, dead, or somewhere in between. Elvis, Cleopatra, Churchill, Marilyn Monroe, Genghis Khan. Yes, him. Spoiler: not a salad fan.
You'll find:

• Historical recipes (some real, some mostly guessed, all delicious or weird)
• Stews hearty enough to power a Mongol invasion
• Desserts so decadent Marie Antoinette would weep
• Cocktails that may or may not have caused revolutions
• And pies. So many pies. Shakespeare alone would demand seconds.

It’s part cookbook, part comedy, part historical gossip column—but with more roast goose and less subtlety. You’ll laugh, you’ll drool, and you’ll question why anyone in history lived past 40.
Lovingly researched, delightfully written, and historically questionable (with good humour), this is the perfect book for:

• Foodies who prefer flavour over fads
• History buffs with a sense of humour
• People who enjoy eating and laughing, ideally at the same time
• Anyone who’s ever wondered what Aristotle had for dinner (hint: lamb, obviously)

So grab a copy, grab a drink, and cook like a legend.
