HOLLYWOOD DISH
Celebrities and socialites have craved the best of everything from clothes to cars since the 1920's when Hollywood became the center of the universe for the movie industry.

HOLLYWOOD DISH is filled with more than 150 of Richmond's take on Hollywood's best recipes, including favorites like Pumpkin Seed Crusted Cod, Wild Salmon and Artichoke Salad with Green Tea Ranch Dressing, Sundance Chocolate Torte and Lemon Almond Pudding.
