But the books are glossy and gorgeous, with mouth-watering photography, and we all know they are ghostwritten by someone who knows what they are doing. I even have In the Kitchen with Kris by yes, Kris Kardashian, a perfect example of how the very idea of most celebrity cookbooks defies logic. I own a ton of celebrity cookbooks, because I can’t seem to quit them. Really, the perfect side dish for a dinner party, especially if you are feeding a vegetarian or two, for whom it becomes a satisfying main course. And it’s delicious hot, cold, or at room temperature. It’s flexible-you can use any pasta noodle, not just linguine. It’s simple, made with ingredients available in supermarkets. This recipe (you’ll find it on the opposite page), like most in the book, is fast, ready in well under an hour. My most beloved all-time boyfriend is linguine with lemon, garlic and thyme mushrooms from Nigella Lawson’s Nigella Express, one of my favorite celebrity cookbooks. Then, as quickly as I fell in love, I tire of it and cast it aside, barely remembering it until years later, when it comes up in conversation. ![]() ![]() The recipe and I get together over and over. I think of it all the time, can’t wait to be in the kitchen with it again, and to introduce it to my friends, who often become smitten, too. A question for my fellow cooks: are you fickle like me? I discover a new recipe, fall in love with it and it becomes my new boyfriend. ![]()
