Additional Details

Description: ZaSu Pitts, the beloved comedienne of motion pictures, stage, and television, was for many years an ardent and highly skilled candy maker. As a young girl, when she first played opposite Mary Pickford, she was famous on the lot for her delicious fudge. In the years following she greatly expanded her repertoire and became increasingly adept in the often delicate art of candy making. When, for example, her experiments in chocolate dipping proved disastrous, she took lessons from the professionals at Los Angeles' famous Farmers' Market until she had mastered the art. 

In this enchanting book, Miss Pitts tells how her hobby grew along with her career, and shares with her readers the tricks of the trade as well as her favorite recipes, which make a wide and varied list, for wherever she went, she exchanged recipes with friends and fans.
