The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a multi-decades long romp through Hollywood with a protagonist, Evelyn Hugo, similar to the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Rita Hayworth, and Ava Gardner. This fictional tale of lust, ambition, and the silver screen is entertaining. As the class discusses the book, Mickey Kitterman will prepare dishes of super star chef Wolfgang Puck from the 1980s when gourmet pizzas and Chinese chicken salad were new and exciting dishes. Enjoy shrimp and sun-dried tomato pizza, chicken salad chinois, corn muffins with jalapeños and fresh rosemary, plus strawberry marzipan tart with honey and almond ice cream.
