Are You Hungry, Dear?: Life, Laughs, and Lasagna Horror Book Review

In Are You Hungry, Dear?, Doris Roberts takes her signa-ture line from the show and makes it her own in a book that pairs hilarious stories and dramatic turning points from her fas-cin-ating life with delicious recipes from her kitchen. She shares the lessons learned in two marriages and numerous love affairs, her struggles with her own family, and her heroic efforts to build a career and raise a son on her own. Readers who love feisty, judgmental, and opinionated Marie Barone will see how Doris is all that and more: tough, sweet, brave, direct, and vibrant. Readers will embrace the unfor-gettable life of this very open star, and relate to the issues-like ageism in Hollywood, sex in the senior years, and her daughter-in-law’s imperfect meat sauce-that Doris cares about so passionately. Are You Hungry, Dear? is for everyone who loves a laugh, a great recipe, and a true inside glimpse of the life of a very approach-able star.
