We rang in the New Year with Pre-Code and LOTS of it!
Since New Year's Eve events were mostly canceled due to Covid, Lara Gabrielle and I cooked up something for you!
We hosted a Hollywood Kitchen "Pre-Code New Year's Eve Marathon" on December 31st, 2021 on ZOOM. We showed three pre-code films and you can see our discussion in the videos below.
Barbara Stanwyck discussion THE MIRACLE WOMAN
Marion Davies discussion POLLY OF THE CIRCUS (1932)
Jean Harlow discussion BOMBSHELL (1933)
Krista Lawler helped me assemble a ton of pre-code star recipes if anyone wanted to make a meal. Click HERE to see them.
Doing this allowed us all to be together (albeit virtually) and share in our love of food and film!
