Book Description:
Warm, funny episodes, each complete with the perfect recipe from the life of America’s favorite mother-in-law from the hit comedy Everybody Loves Raymond

In Are You Hungry, Dear?, Doris takes her signature line from the show and makes it her own in a program that pairs hilarious stories and dramatic turning points from her fascinating 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. Those who love feisty, judgmental, opinionated Marie Barone will see how Doris is all that and more: tough, sweet, brave, direct, and vibrant. Listeners will embrace the unforgettable 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 passionately.

Are You Hungry, Dear? is for everyone who loves a laugh, a great recipe, and a true inside glimpse of a very approachable star.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick, fun read with some great recipes. I did try the Lasagna recipe and the family loved it.

I wasn't a big fan of Doris Roberts when I began this book, but I must say that it really held my attention. It's not written in the traditional way of a memoir, but rather she hops around different events in her life. She's funny and entertaining. An easy, light, siting on the beach read.

An enjoyable, easy to read, celebrity biography. Doris Roberts includes a recipe with each chapter. I am going to try her meatloaf recipe!

This is a really good book. It does mention quite a few things about "Everybody Loves Raymond" but the focus is on Doris Roberts's life and she's lived a colorful one! Anyone who likes Doris Roberts will like this book!
