While you may well associate Dolores with the glamour professions–hoof model, actress, cabaret chanteuse, freestyle waterski dance instructor–don’t assume she doesn’t know her way around a spatula. She is, in fact, a well-seasoned culinary pro. After the young(ish) lamb presented her Sweet and Fluffy Buns to an astonished panel of county fair judges, she carried off the Blue Ribbon and parlayed the $3.75 cash prize into her own local access cooking program, Shut Up and Put This In Your Mouth. Four smash seasons later, she landed on the bestseller list with Fly Me to the Spoon: Recipes for Romance, subsequently an Emmy-nominated NBC miniseries starring Phoebe Cates and Sir Alec Guinness with special musical guest Animotion.
