Your Angel Is Waiting: A Cookbook To Die For by James L. Dickerson is a celebrity cookbook that poses the question: if you knew that you were going to die on a certain day, what would you want for your last meal?

To obtain answers to that intriguing question, the author approached celebrities from all walks of life—politics, music, television, film, business, sports, and arts and letters. He asked for either a menu or an actual recipe. Famous American chefs were asked to send their choice for a last meal—and the recipes they sent are fabulous. He also investigated the deaths of beloved celebrities such as John Lennon, Marilyn Monroe, Ernest Hemingway, and Jimi Hendrix, to determine their actual last meals before passing away. You will be fascinated by the results:

President Bill Clinton sent his recipe for chicken enchiladas.

Gregg Allman went for catfish and hush puppies.

John McCain offered his recipe for Arizona Baked Beans.

Dr. John concocted a menu that included broiled crawfish and Barq’s root beer.

Before his death, Arnold Palmer sent a recipe for sugared bacon strips.

Who would have thought actress Betty White would want chicken wings before she departs. Her recipe for Chicken Wings Pacifica will leave you licking your lips with anticipation.

Can you even begin to guess what Billie Holiday, Ernest Hemingway, and Elvis Presley ate before they passed away?

Aside from the entertainment value of this book, the reader will walk away with a box load of incredible recipes from important chefs such as Tom Douglas of Seattle (owner of Dahlia Lounge), Daniel Boulud of New York (Café Boulud), Roland Passot of San Francisco (Restaurant La Folie) and Nora Pouillon of Washington, DC (Nora), to name a few.
