Pocket Books, 1988. Softcover. New; Shrink-wrapped. Dom DeLuise, the beloved TV and movie comedy actor was, as it turns out, not only a performer but also a chef and cookbook author. Eat This... It'll Make You Feel Better is full of his personal and family recipes, as well as recipes from some notable celebrity buddies. Many of the recipes are rooted in DeLuise's Italian-American upbringing. DeLuise the comedian isn't lost in this book either - the recipes are amusing and will make the reader laugh. Publisher's Weekly writes, "Those finding a kindred spirit in the ebullient actor and comedian will hear his cheerful voice bubble off the page, giggling as he calls himself 'the fastest yolk in the West.' Others will forgo the humor for the appealing, homestyle recipes." This book is part of the set that also includes the CD-ROM cookbook, "Cooking with Dom DeLuise," as well as the user guide. In the CD-ROM the actor's humor really shines through, with videos of him cooking and performing.
