American icons – Marilyn Monroe stuffing

This week Ted Lee and Dan Lee stepped into the kitchen to make Marilyn Monroe’s stuffing recipe for the New York Times. They found the recipe in the new book “Fragments”– a collection of Marilyn’s scribblings, mostly when she was at the height of her fame and married to Arthur Miller. In it, there’s her recipe for stuffing jotted on stationery with a letterhead from City Title Insurance company. The results of the Lee’s foray into Marilyn’s cooking? Though they report her stuffing is laborious (“Did Marilyn have that much time on her hands?”) They say it is “delicious,” even “heroic.” Have a look at their fascinating piece! My bet is that Marilyn’s stuffing will marry many a turkey this Thanksgiving. (No offense to James, Joe, or Arthur.)
