About the author

Dinah Shore (born Frances Rose Shore) was an American singer, actress, and television personality. She was most popular during the Big Band era of the 1940s and 1950s.

After failing singing auditions for the bands of Benny Goodman and both Jimmy Dorsey and his brother Tommy Dorsey, Shore struck out on her own to become the first singer of her era to achieve huge solo success. She enjoyed a long string of over 80 charted popular hits, lasting from 1940 into the late '50s, and after appearing in a handful of films went on to a four-decade career in American television, starring in her own music and variety shows in the '50s and '60s and hosting two talk shows in the '70s. TV Guide magazine ranked her at #16 on their list of the top fifty television stars of all time. Stylistically, Dinah Shore was often compared to two popular singers who followed her in the mid-to-late '40s and early '50s, Doris Day and Patti Page.

Someone’s In The Kitchen with Dinah – and that’s just what this is like – she’s right there on the pages chatting away and telling you how she makes the recipes or how the “someone” whose recipe it is makes it for her. Dinah Shore is still one of my favorites and I ‘m glad I have two of her cookbooks at hand to pull out from time to time.
