Super cute cook book.I wouldn't buy it for my self but if I knew someone who watched dinner and a movie religiously I would buy it for them. The recipes are complicated and not somethimg I'd want to make .

Just the facts, Ham is the name of a Dragnet recipe. A clever idea that I enjoyed reading.

The recipes are not always easy in this book. But so far the Apple crisp with berries for the movie Carrie and the Thyme tart for Back to the Future were delicious.
