We wrap up our Oscars preview with some delicious distaff dishes, just in time for you to hustle to the market and get cooking!
Penelope Cruz, Volver: This Iberian enchantress does not require fancy sauces to wow your guests! Why not try panfried medallions, garnished with capers, and for a special treat, a wrapping of Jamon Iberico!
Judi Dench, Notes on a Scandal:
Helen Mirren, The Queen:
Meryl Streep, The Devil Wears Prada:
Stop the presses! Man bites dog! Hollywood recognizes existence of women over 20! It's exciting to see Oscar honor these dames (literally, in Judi's case!), but it will require some resourcefulness in the kitchen. Rather than working separately, let these three join forces in a hearty bolito misto! (As an accompaniment, fresh horseradish is a real difference-maker!)
Kate Winslet, Little Children: Hollywood's most reliable young performer is also one of its most delicious! It's hard to go wrong with this versatile star, but why not "think outside the box" and have your guests make their own Winslet fajitas! Less work for you, more fun for your guests!
That's all for this year! See you on the red carpet!
