Given Basil Rathbone's British heritage, it's no surprise that one of his favorite dishes was Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, a hearty, traditional English dinner. Below is Basil Rathbone's recipe for Yorkshire Pudding, as it appears in a little booklet called Hollywood Recipes: Food Secrets of the Movie Stars (by Delight Evans, Editor of Screenland Magazine, and published by the American Stove Company in 1938).

Another favorite Rathbone recipe comes from the book Famous Stars Favorite Foods (Hollywood, Ca.: Fannie Sniff, editor and publisher, 1938).
VICHY SOIS SOUP
| Boil potatoes and onions together. Put through a
sieve. When cool, add sour cream until mixture is of good
consistency. Fill full of chopped chives. Put mixture in ice box or
refrigerator. Two hours before serving, thin out with French Vichy
water and put back in ice box or refrigerator to be thoroughly
chilled. This soup should be served in large bowls surrounded by cracked ice. (Note: Soup should be ice cold when served; otherwise flavor is impaired.) |
