The Celebrity Cookbook was created entirely to donate funds generated by the sales of the book to AIDS Prevention and Care. I wanted to fulfill a long time desire to do something for a worthwhile cause. I wanted my voice heard about HIV and AIDS and how we can stop the spread through education and research. Working together is really what it’s all about and I will never stop my efforts towards AIDS until a cure is found.

My special interest in helping people afflicted with HIV and AIDS along with the love of cooking and writing gave me the perfect inspiration for this book.

Comments From Celebrities

It is very symbolic that this amazing collection of varied recipes for the preparation of food, the staff of life, assists in the financing of research to save lives. One of the foundations of civilization, of man’s humanity to man, is the providing of food to friends at a dining room table as well as to strangers who knock on a door. The AIDS crisis has motivated all of us to work together to provide help for our AIDS-stricken friends and strangers.

Thank you for including me in this worthwhile project. I’m honored to be part of this vital cause. Lasagna is one of my favorite dishes and no one prepares it better than my personal chef, Katerini.

The success you are achieving and the energy you devote to AIDS research is outstanding. It is through your efforts and projects like this, a cure will be found.

Thank you for writing this book and also for asking for my participation. It is a fine thing you are doing and I wish you the best in all your efforts towards AIDS.

My recipe for Remoulade sauce has been a secret in the Tune family for years. It comes from one of my late mother’s church friends, Audrey Albert. It’s delish!

Being a vegan (that’s strict vegetarian), I’m sharing my favorite vegetarian soup recipe that’s really delicious. Here’s a favorite quote of mine on vegetarianism: “Become a vegetarian. Your body will respect you for your wisdom – and the animals will love you for your compassion.”

It’s projects like the Celebrity Cookbook that bring people together for a good cause. AIDS is such a serious problem in today’s world and requires maximum effort from as many people and organizations if we are to conquer it.

I’m pleased to donate my favorite recipe for Vivica’s Marvelous Macaroni – it’s very good and comforting.
