Linda Evans's unique memoir combines her love of cooking with tales of living and working in Hollywood. Includes an all-new chapter!

From her dazzling debut as Audra on the TV hit show The Big Valley, to her award-winning performances as Krystle in Dynasty, Linda Evans has charmed millions of television viewers around the world with her talent, her warmth, and her beauty. Through it all, Linda has remained unaffected, grounded, and deeply spiritual.

In Recipes for Life, Linda opens up her heart, her past, and her kitchen. She shares a revealing assortment of anecdotes, photographs, and recipes enjoyed by Linda and those near and dear to her. Linda touches upon growing up, family ties, her incredible life in Hollywood, the friends she has made, and provides an intimate glimpse into her high-profile romances. At the heart of this memorable, touching, and inspiring story is how all of these ingredients have come together to make Linda the woman she is today.

True to her beloved personality, Linda warmly and candidly serves up a delightful banquet that her Dynasty fans will truly savor. Complete with over 40 recipes, some handed down through generations (Mom's Hot Dog Stew), some taught by famous friends (John Wayne “The Duke's” Crab Dip), some inspired by supreme dining experiences from travels around the world (Ina Garten’s Filet of Beef Bourguignon), and still others from her winning appearance on Hell's Kitchen (Hell's Salmon), Recipes for Life is at once a delightful journey and a treasure trove of recipes of a life well-lived by a woman well-loved.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Attention-grabbing anecdotes, glossy photos and delectable recipes. With a warm, friendly tone, Evans gently guides readers through the seminal moments of her life and career. A mouthwatering blend of memoir and cookbook.” ― Kirkus Reviews

“Entertaining…filled with magical moments, romantic adventures, friendships with the rich and famous, and personal challenges, with applications far beyond Hollywood and the kitchen.” ― Publishers Weekly

“Linda has joyously combined her two passions in life—people and food—into a mouthwatering memoir. And just like the lady, herself, it’s Delicious!” -- Kathie Lee Gifford, TV personality and New York Times bestselling author

“A fun read from an iconic beauty and TV star.” -- Susan Lucci, TV legend and New York Times bestselling author

About the Author

Award-winning actress Linda Evans has personified beauty and grace to American television viewers for over five decades, from her role as Audra Barkley on The Big Valley, to the glamorous Krystle Carrington on Dynasty, to Hell’s Kitchen, which she won in 2009. She has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Drama series and has won five People’s Choice Awards for Best Female Performer. Linda was also nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. For her contribution to the television industry, Linda has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

After Dynasty, Linda moved from Hollywood to the Pacific Northwest, where she began an extraordinary journey of self-discovery. She has returned to performing frequently, starring in the stage play, Legends, and winning the Hell’s Kitchen competition while working under Michelin-starred chef Marco Pierre White.

Linda’s often lavish and luxurious life has rivaled Dynasty’s Krystle Carrington’s. She has dined with queens and presidents, been romanced by the rich and famous, and today, what Linda treasures most is the wisdom she has gained along the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's worth every cent you buy it for!

5 stars because that's that's exactly what it deserves, if not more! I came to admire Linda Evans a few months ago and seeing that her memoir was only $4, it was a steal :)
Once it came when it said it would, I unwrapped it to find find it in great condition!
What was even better was the story that laid within the cover. Once I had began to read it, I couldn't put it down! She put things in there that you wouldn't find online before she had released the book. The recipes are great also, I cooked her penne pasta recipe for the family and they loved it, as did I. This book shouldn't and won't disappoint you, especially if you're big fan/admirer of Linda Evan!

5.0 out of 5 stars A neat little treasure to read..especially if you like the classics from yesteryear...
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is/was a treasure to read. The recipes all sound great, timeless classics, like Linda herself!!

If you love and/or have an appreciation of old Hollywood or classics from yesteryear, this book would probably be an interesting read for you; with a few classic timeless recipes thrown in, and the fun or neat stories behind them! All of the recipes sound very do-able and solid and just plain good (I've been cooking for over 30 years, so I can pretty much read a recipe and tell if it will be a fail or not, and the recipes here all sound like timeless classics!).

At the used book price, it is well worth the money!!!

Linda Evans writes as lovely as she is. It is an easy read if you remember that Hollywood era, with some glamour and interesting story tidbits, as well as some classy recipes from famous restaurants and stars.

I have really enjoyed this book thus far as I have not finished going completely through it and reading. The recipes look fantastic and I do plan on making them. I have always liked Linda Evans so it was nice to read about her life growing up with family. She was a very good actress as well. Like others, I along with my family watched her on The Big Valley(I loved that show) as well as Dynasty. She was great. I certainly recommend this book with recipes and can't wait to make some of them myself. I'll have to say, I really like buying my books from Amazon.

I have so admired Linda and her career through the years and this book was so revealing and enjoyable. Her honesty about her life choices encourages me to take a new life journey myself. Women who appreciate each stage of their life and share their growth experiences and revelations is priceless. I keep this book handy for reference of the great receipes and sharing sections with other women who are facing challenges of aging. A great big thnak you to Linda for making all of us feel like personal friends. I saw her in the Marie show and really love her book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, relaxing read.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 8, 2020

I enjoyed it a lot. The overall feeling she leaves you with is her feeling of gratitude for the many blessings in her life journey, the good people and friends, and for her family of 2 sisters and their children. She lives in Washington State for many years now near her relatives and enjoys giving public talks at events and conferences. Linda is now in her mid to late seventies. She had a seriously painful back problem a few years ago which had her become depressed while battling the pain. I think she got beter help with it eventually. Her book also has great recipes for gatherings of friends or family. I am a fan of Linda because she is a beautiful person. A nice writer and book is a nice read.
