Joy of
Liberace is filled with retro recipes that are So
Liberace. So
Totally Liberace. It's a step-by-step guide to Bling Cooking,
over-the-top cooking with all the panache of the glitziest
pianist that
ever tinkled a Steinway. These are the culinary classics
that rocked
Las Vegas and swayed every palm tree in Palm Springs. This
homage to
exuberant excess overflows with the '50s and '60s fare that
proved More
is More, as only the King of Bling, Liberace could do.
Joy of Liberace
is the retro cookbook of the century, destined to go into
everyone's
time capsule, along with those sequined hot pants and
rhinestoned
tuxedoes.
Liberace was not only the world's highest paid classical
pianist, he was a master chef whose recipes were as
over-the-top as his
wardrobe. Now for the first time in full color, more than 80 of
Liberace's favorite recipes -- the dishes he served to Las Vegas
royalty and, yes, even bona fide royals -- are gathered
together in one
delicious cookbook, ready to be served in your home, to your
oh-so-Liberace friends. Plus, through the creative artistry
of the
Riviera Hotel and Casino's chefs extraordinaire, many of
Liberace's
fabulous creations are photographed in full color -- be-jeweled,
be-floraled and be-yoo-tiful. These are the same fabulous
recipes that
kept viewers tuned in and turned on to The Liberace
Show in the
'50s and '60s, all presented with the same humor and panache
that were
Liberace's signatures.
Now, Bling Cooking in all its glory, dripping
with decadence fills Joy of Liberace
and suffuses it with the Liberace spirit, rich with recipes
fit for any
extravagant occasion that demands exuberant excess. Or, consider
Liberace fare for that quiet little dinner that needs a
conversation
starter. Wouldn't Succulent Succotash, Decorative Crab Balls and
Liberace's Exceptional and Extraordinary Angel Bling Cake
Pie be just
the mouth-watering ticket? You'll turn to this cookbook over
and over
again. And like Liberace, you'll be laughing all the way to
the buffet.
