Reminds me of growing up in the late 60s and early 70s. All I need now is a Nehru jacket. I think these recipes are probably delicious - I may try them soon. Thank you, Mr. price!

Belated holiday greetings you from 🇨🇦

You are delightful!

Oh my gosh what a wonderful collection you have. It's a true passion for you!

What a wonderful collection! I'd love to see videos about the rarities and ephemera! x

Happy Holidays to you and yours Jenny! Hope you have a great New Year!🥣🥗🥘

Merry Christmas Jenny! Thank you for a really fun 2024 - looking forward to next year's shenanigans! "Cooking the Detectives"? Ooh - they're so cute...

Happiest Holidays and Happy New Year's to you too! :)

Wow!

One of favourite sandwiches is just round lettuce, an inch high, with butter salt and salad cream.

This is amazing.

No context to this wonderful snippet of Vincent's world.

Oh gawd, this is so cool.

Love it! So much fun. I'll have to check out Substack one of these days! PS you pronounced it correctly - it sounds like Sal's berry.

Arrgh! I was cooking when this premiered, sorry to have missed it! Great recipe ❤ Lots of love to J&J from D&A Xx

Hey Jen - Great video! I watched transfixed throughout (as always, my dear friend, you are a star!) I was a big fan of the salad sandwich in the early 1990s, as a devotee of the bestselling 'food combining' diet book 'Fit for Life' by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond, first published in 1985. The history of 'food combining' (also known as the Hay Diet), goes back many centuries, but it took off in the UK in the early 1900s. To this day it's favoured by many for weight loss and general good health. The British actor Sir John Mills followed it for most of his adult life, and he swore by it for health, crediting it for his general excellent fitness and high energy levels. Sir John lived to be 97, so I reckon he was onto something! As you probably know, in a nutshell the rules of food combining are - never mix protein foods (meat, fish, cheese, eggs etc) with carbohydrate foods (potatoes, pasta, rice, bread etc), in the same meal. So for example, you cannot have fish (protein), and chips (carbohydrate) together, but instead could eat the fish with various non-carby vegetables or a mixed salad, or you could eat the chips with various veg or a mixed salad. The science argued is that the human digestive system digests proteins and carbohydrates very differently, and (if my memory serves), even claims that the human body produces two contrasting types of digestive enzymes to digest protein and carbs. Therefore (the argument goes), when you eat protein and carbs together ('Foods that Fight', as the book-blurb went), your body produced two types of digestive juices that battled with each other and neutralised each other, meaning your body took a long time to digest the meal, did so inefficiently, and was more prone to make you gain weight as a result. The 1985 book 'Fit for Life' also advocated eating fruit, despite its high sugar content, but ideally for breakfast and crucially, only ever on an empty stomach, not with other types of food. Fruit eaten with a meal would sit in your system and ferment, was the claim - eat it alone and clean, and it is efficiently and quickly digested. I think this is likely true - many, myself included, digest fruit better as a sole snack. Another rule of 'Fit for Life', was not to drink water with meals (only before or after eating), because water dilutes digestive juices and makes more work for your body to digest your food. Cynics would say food combining is just another fad diet, and that any kind of diet restriction, whatever it is, is likely to result in weight loss. Fair comment. But having tried food combining, I have to say I'm a fan. It not only works for weight loss, it''s a food regime that you feel good and energetic on - and you can eat a lot of good, delicious food on it too! The salad sandwich was a lunch I enjoyed often while food combining. I favoured lightly toasted pitta bread over sliced bread, as in my view pitta bread is robust and has less potential than soft, sliced bread to absorb the dampness inevitably associated with a salad filling. Nothing worse than a soggy salad sandwich! The genius of Angela Lansbury's salad sandwich recipe, is she recognises the risk of soggy bread inherent with a damp, salad filling, and she has solved it by 'sealing' each slice/side of bread with a water-resistant, 'fatty' coating - avocado on one side, and mayo/cottage/feta cheese on the other. Brilliant! Food combing embraces all natural fats including animal fats, so real butter in this and other 'food combined' sandwiches is absolutely fine. That's another aspect of food combining that I'm a big fan of, is its enthusiastic promotion of healthy fats. For example, the 'Fit for Life' book identified early the toxicity of artificial, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (also known as 'trans fats), once found in pretty much all fast food and processed supermarket foods like ready meals, and desserts, cakes and biscuits. 'Fit for Life' argued our bodies were not designed to eat such artificial, man-made Frankenstein fat, only natural vegetable and animal fats. Over subsequent years, they were proved 100% right! 'Fit For Life' was also an early proponent of the avocado - back in the 'eighties, when the received wisdom was that avocados were a wicked, high fat food, and therefore the enemy of the dieter/healthy eater. Total nonsense of course, as is now recognised. Dame Joan Collins has long been an avocado fan, and from the 1980s declared she ate at least half an avocado a day (while constantly weight-watching to maintain her trim figure), for its health and beauty benefits. Good on her! 'Fit for Life' was revolutionary in its day, because it challenged the 'low fat diet' craze that was huge throughout the 'eighties. At the time, people were obsessed with the fat content of food, and many wouldn't touch avocados or indeed any animal fat, and instead purchased and ate processed foods made with trans fats, and manufactured, 'low fat' foods by the ton, thinking them healthier. And guess what? Those anti fat and low fat fans became obese, because not only are avocados and animal fats good for you in moderation and easily processed by our bodies, we now know that manufactured low fat foods (eg low fat mayo, yoghurts, fake butter spreads etc), contain a load of added sugar, to make up for the flavour lost by the artificial removal of fat. The result was those manufactured foods may have been low fat, but they were high sugar/refined sugar to make them palatable, and therefore were high calorie and damned bad for the human body! Fat is not the enemy - over-eating fat is! And so is highly processed, man-made trans fat and low-fat foods. Sadly people over-ate foods manufactured with Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (step forward McDonalds - which abandoned trans fats in 2007 due to growing evidence of its toxicity), and became not only obese, but vulnerable to all kinds of resulting health issues including heart disease and cancer. Anyone curious about the potential health benefits of those eating a high fat diet should Google 'Inuit Cuisine' - Inuit people living in freezing climates, historically survived on a hunted and fished diet high in animal fat and protein. Around 50% of their diet came from fat alone, yet these people were fit, healthy and not overweight, with low rates of cancer and heart disease. They also had healthy attitudes and rituals around food, one of which was to eat only when hungry. By the 21st century when a Western diet had taken over, sadly Western diseases became prevalent in the previously healthy Inuit people. So I'm a big fan of the salad sandwich, and the variety of salad filling ingredients is huge - you can even use things like sauteed items (shallots/garlic/onion, mushrooms etc), steamed veggies (carrots, courgette, broccoli, asparagus etc), and pickled items (beetroot, onion, cauliflower, gherkins, okra, green beans) etc. The best salad sandwich in my opinion, can feature a combination of lightly cooked and raw veggies together, providing variety in temperature, texture and flavour. Spinach works both raw and lightly steamed, as do many other veg. Thank you so much for this video Jenny. You have taken me back to happy memories of delicious, warm, salad-stuffed pitta pockets, full of yummy, mashed avocado, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes and succulent cucumber, doused in delicious simple home-made salad dressing of fresh lemon juice, crushed garlic, dijon mustard, fresh chopped chives/parsley and olive oil - YUM! The beauty of this kind of food is it satisfies your hunger, without leaving you feeling stuffed and too lethargic to work after lunch (I don't think I've ever had a jacket potato with protein-filling lunch, usually tuna mayo, without craving a nap by 3pm!) Love ya Jenny, take very good care of yourself gorgeous woman. You are life enhancing! XXX

This is a video, right? So why is bottom half, where all the action is, cut off?

Ooh I can make these with the veggies that I harvest in any day ❤

How fun!!

Ooh this looks really good! And healthy 💜

I'm glad you made this video. It really helped me out, as I do restaurant recipe research, and there's a fancy American restaurant chain called Ruth's Chris Steak House (an unfortunate name born of a silly US legal issue, that Ruth hated), which offers this dessert cocktail at some of their locations, and they mentioned where the idea came from, but not exactly what was in it, and your video was the only source for that info I found. Cheers!

I love the 73 film but the Nicholas Cage remake was atrocious! Oh darn! All my Summer Isle type of clothing on jpg. Is filed away somewhere and I can't find them .One of those candles would have been lovely! Ah well. Have a lovely day!

Good movie for Beltane

Those look delish Jen, and the perfect hangover cure! What was Julie's verdict? Rather frustratingly I've only just seen your latest SSS videos, having come here today from your charming Substack. I don't appear to be receiving YT Notifications when you upload a new video, yet I'm a subscriber? Very odd! Anyway I'm bingeing on them now, and loving every minute! Tbh I like the idea of a club sandwich, more than the reality - particularly if eating them in public. You made them manageable with your genius idea to quarter, and spear with starlet cocktail sticks (try saying that after a couple of 'Hitchcocktails'!). But generally speaking, there's just too much can go wrong in the eating of them. Let's face it, they're a toast-tower crammed with fall-out fillings, and anathema to red lipstick! Having watched this I've a new respect for Clark Gable - Lord knows how he masticated those monsters with false teeth. As superfan Julie is no doubt aware, Clark suffered from chronic gum disease and had a full set of dentures from his early thirties. Apparently his plate gave him problems with the legendary "Frankly my dear I don't give a damn' line! After his death, his friend legendary screenwriter Anita Loos of 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' fame, told the following sweet story about him: "I most admired Clark Gable for his lack of vanity. He was equipped with a premature set of false teeth, for which he felt no embarrassment. One day I happened on him at an outdoor faucet, where he had stopped to wash off his denture. Clark grinned, pointed to his caved-in mouth and said, with an exaggerated lisp: "Look, America'th Thweetheart!" God bless him!

The hairdo is GAW-JUS, you totally rocked the retro, Mrs Robinson/Anne Bancroft vibe, loved it! XXX

we had Hitch in the room!

Have a beautiful day ❤

I've been looking everywhere for a video on Clark gables drinks! 😁 Thank you! He's my hero and I am so glad you did his favourite martini and did it justice 😁

6th generation Texan here, a little mayonnaise (preferably Hellmans, tomatoes, chopped onions and a squeezed lime salt and cayenne, garlic powder and stir.keep it simple, skip the Tabasco though. Tortilla chips and that’s it!

My father told us he got to dance with Jane Russell when he was stationed at San Diego at aUSO dance before he shipped out on the USS Sicily carrier during Korean War. I just love your channel!

Love the video. Love your kitchen. Looking forward to the watch party.

So lovely to see you doing your thing Jenny ! I adore Mildred Pierce . I think La Crawford netted her Oscar for that . I'm now scouring the internet for more of your videos ! Xx

Great video! This is a must try for sure . The link does not work but Im interested in knowing more about the JC cookbook

Ooh Jenny, I'm loving your new, retro kitchen - it's fab! The perfect backdrop for 'Silver Screen Queen' suppers, cocktails and all manner of chi-chi events. Congrats on your recent move to the seaside. 🏖🌞🏖🌞🏖VERY exciting! The great Joan Crawford would be right at home there, as would Mildred Pierce. I can just see Mildred putting that gorgeous kitchen range of yours through its paces, up to her pumice-stoned elbows in cake batter! You're right, 'Mildred Pierce' really is a masterpiece, pure pot-boiler, and full strength Crawford. I love that it's a come-back story, on and off screen. Very inspirational for us grown-up gals! Joanie had been told she was washed up at 40, and was even slated by one reviewer as 'Box office poison' (a slight she never forgot - or forgave!) But my God she proved her critics wrong with 'Mildred Pierce'. She fully deserved her Best Actress Oscar, for the costumes alone! (Ann Blyth was marvellous as her daughter/nemesis, the venomous Veda!) So thrilled to see your re-launced 'COOKING WITH CRAWFORD'. The brand spanking new version of your classic book looks divine - Great photos too! I will be investing, and was glued to this demo. Entertaining like La Crawford has always been my life's ambition, practically from birth (I was born with a spookily Crawford-esque cupids bow!) Lovely to see a new video pop up from you. Here's hoping it will be the beginning of many more at your glam new gaff. Happy Housewarming gorgeous lady! XXX 💋💋💋 Here's to another gorgeous 'Dinner & A Movie event on October 22nd! 🎬🎬🎬👏👏👏

Great looking place, what a kitchen . And I remember the first sandwich I ordered in a diner in the States and a plate arrived with more food than I'd eat in a week on it somehow jammed between slices of bread precariously pinned together by the biggest cocktail sticks I'd ever seen and served with a complimentary bowl of soup, salad and fruit plate ! I had to deconstruct to eat and left a shameful amount !

BOGIE was the BOSS😂

Awesome sandwich and kitchen! Could these be also referred as 'hangover sandwiches'? Cool mug as well :)

Looovely new kitchen!

I have the answer! It's pronounced Stanwick (not Stannick). And what a fun video. Thank you!

So chuffed that Jenny's new bitters bottle makes an appearance! What a treat of a video. This girl oozes pure style.

That was so DRAMATIC! And we're so happy it was a magnificent success! Like Stanley Tucci himself 👏

Oh I’d love to participate in the AL workout!

sick 50's furniture

Your draw was Rigged 100% ! The draw was rigged like the U.S Elections..!! Calling Columbo ,your done !!... just one more thing !!

Ha! This is genius! Cheers!

Hi! Great content! Have you ever considered using SMZeus . c o m to promote your videos??

- Dashes to Amazon to buy up every Vincent Price Cookery Book! - 'A Treasury of Great Recipes' looks like one of those must-have tomes for the kitchen shelf. I love that your copies are battered originals, there's something magical about vintage books. I keep searching UA-cam in hopes of finding his British TV cookery show, but alas to no avail. I just ADORE VP, don't you? I think he's about as close to physical perfection as a man can be. And that voice... THAT VOICE! Sigh. I've come over all unnecessary! Sadly his cocktail is the closest I'll ever get, LOL! By the way - can you actually buy MSG? Is it a powder or liquid, I'm intrigued! Next time I have a dinner party - if we ever return to pre-surgical mask freedom - I plan to do that wonderful chicken recipe of his served up in hollowed out pineapples. It's so brilliantly quirky and theatrical! Talking of theatrical, 'Theatre of Blood' is one of my all time favourite movies, and I think without question the best horror movie ever made. It couldn't be more wonderful - it even has a cameo appearance by Diana Dors! (Vincent and Diana are my fantasy parents, I firmly believe I'm their secret love child and was adopted to avoid scandal... I can dream!) I haven't seen 'The Raven', thanks for the tip I will hunt it down, sounds like perfect quarantine viewing! Vincent had quite an on screen double act going on with the great Peter Lorre. They were visually startling together, Vincent at 6ft 3ins and Peter at just 5ft 2ins. I recently discovered an hilarious 1963 movie they made - again with Boris Karloff - called 'The Comedy of Terrors', have you seen it? It also stars your hubby's namesake the great Basil Rathbone in a fantastic guest role! Vincent and Peter played very unprofessional undertakers, it's another great quarantine movie. Oh, and it features a great comic turn from a ginger cat called Cleopatra, who is credited as 'Rhubarb'! Some absolute angel uploaded a quality version of the full movie to UA-cam, here's the link if you're interested, enjoy! XXX ua-cam.com/video/P7MOFfqxBvk/v-deo.html

Any cocktail recipe that starts with a PINT of champagne has gotta be good! I like the sound of the canapes, ta for the recipe. I think the black, lumpfish caviar you can buy in a jar at the supermarket quite inexpensively, is a very underrated product. It's absolutely yummy on hot buttered toast - come to think of it, small, crustless triangles of hot buttered toast with lumpfish caviar generously applied would make a fab canape! Gloria Swanson was a great advert for vegetarianism and vitamin supplements. She swallowed handfuls of pills every day and looked incredibly glamorous, with wonderful skin, to the end. Loving your cocktail recipe videos Jenny - a very welcome tonic during lockdown! Stay safe and well darling girl, much love to you and scrummy-hubby, Mr R. XXX
