Celebrity Dish: A Hamptons Celebrity Cookbook to Benefit Make-A-Wish Foundation

Author: Jodi Della Femina

Jodi Della Femina and Daniel Benedict, creators of Jodi's Shortcuts '99, 2000 & 2001 - The Hamptons, the guidebook that has been a bestseller in the Hamptons and New York since it's inception - have now created Celebrity Dish, a cookbook to satiate appetites nationwide.

The book is a collection of recipes from celebrities and top chefs throughout the Hamptons and is filled with photographs by famed photographer Patrick McMullan.

Part of the proceeds from the cookbook will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation - a wonderful charity granting wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses. Della Femina and Benedict have included photos of "wish" children and drawing of their wishes (made by the children) throughout the pages of Celebrity Dish. The recipes are an eclectic mix of favorites from an incredible group of people. Celebrities include: Sting, Ivana Trump, Puff Daddy, Rosie O'Donnell, Billy Joel, Martha Stewart, Matt Lauer, Katie Couric, Betsey Johnson, Randolph Duke, Cynthia Rowley, Adrienne Vittadini, Donna Karan, Vera Wang, Nina Griscom, Ana Gasteyer, Joy Behar, Star Jones, Liz Smith, Neal Travis, Cindy Adams, and many, many more.

The dishes featured are as diverse as the celebrities themselves, from Rosie O'Donnell's Marshmallow Mud Squares to Martha Stewart's Macaroni & Cheese to Sting's Spaghetti al Aglio e Olio - Celebrity Dish features over 50 recipes for all seasons and occasions.
