Crabmeat Cocktail

I love old Hollywood, the stories, the glamour, the stars, and now with this book, L.A.’s Legendary Restaurants and this Crabmeat Cocktail, the recipes!! This gorgeous hardcover cookbook is loaded with not only recipes but tons of fabulous pictures that have never been published before. I also have a giveaway for you for one lucky winner to get a copy of this fantastic cookbook so don’t forget to scroll all the way down!! 

The author George Geary, an award-winning chef, best-selling author and renowned educator takes you on a tour of glamorous restaurants. Through a lively narrative, vintage photographs and historic menus the stories are told. There are over 100 recipes for entrees, appetizers, desserts and classic drinks, all being updated by George Geary to be adapted easily into today’s kitchen. 

Classic recipes from Musso & Frank Grill and the Brown Derby of the 20’s to the see-and-be-seen crowds of Chasen’s, Romanoff’s and Ciro’s in the mid-twentieth century, all the way up to the 1970’s and 1980’s with the dawn of California cuisine at Ma Maison and Spago Sunset. This cookbook celebrates where Hollywood ate, drank and played.

This Crabmeat Cocktail was Ciro’s number-one hors d’oeuvre. It was served in an iced glass pedestal dish but we have them in cute little cocktail glasses for you today. Serve up the freshest of crab and you will have an outstanding recipe.
