Available via Amazon.com | This recipe is from the classic cookbook titled The Hour Magazine Cookbook (Gary Collins, Putnam, 1985). The subtitle for this cookbook is "The most popular recipes from America's most informative television show." At the time, Hour Magazine hosted by Gary Collins was the most popular daytime magazine-format show on television. The Hour Magazine Cookbook only has a few breakfast recipes, but it's worth a look for the many other recipes (many of an exotic nature) that were presented on the program. |
In The Hour Magazine Cookbook, Gary Collins introduced this recipe like so: "First Lady Nancy Reagan came to Hour Magazine to present a five part series with me, on children and drugs... as soon as she came to the studio, she pulled out some homemade cookies and handed them out to the crew and staff. Knowing that cooking is close to her heart, I asked her to submit a favorite recipe. She chose Monkey Bread."
Mr Breakfast would like to thank Mr Breakfast for this recipe.
