About this ebook

Kitty Dolan recalls a visit with Elvis in Killeen, Texas, right after his mother's death. "We drove in Elvis's white Cadillac to the house they had rented from Judge Crawford. . . .That night we sat down to dinner, with Elvis at one end of the table and his father at the other. Then his grandmother. There was a big platter of white bread for sandwich makings and a big platter of southern baked beans. Theat was topped off with a delicious pie his Grandmammy had baked. Elvis looked at me with a shy, little smile and said, 'I hope you like our southern cooking.'"

Elvis Presley liked traditional southern cooking. In Fit for a KingTM are more then 300 recipes for the foods Elvis enjoyed, including many from his longtime cook Alvena Roy. Also included are menus for meals served at Graceland, for Elvis and Priscilla's wedding reception, for the Beatles' visit, and for Christmas in Memphis.

The memories Elvis's friends have of mealtimes with him at Graceland depict him as a thoughtful, considerate, and fun-loving person. Many of the seventy photographs are published here for the first time.

In writing my own cook book ran across this one after it came out awhile back.. I'm blind ( legally blind ) and bought it online here so I could read it better. Then I have one on my shelf. Not an Elvis Predley fan but collect Cookbooks of all kinds. Like some people collect coins or refrigerator magnets. Spiral bound Cookbooks are the type women abdolutely love bc ya know they're good !! So if you need one of these ••••• "Comfort Food" cookbooks simular to what the Church cook books are like, then you'll really enjoy this spiral bound cook book. It's black & gold decor is classy & perfect for my home town of New Orleans ! Then penned down by none other than those who worked with & cooked for Elvis and knew him. It's good food for the goodness sak !! So grab you one for the fun and have a cook day activity maybe with friends using these recipes and have some fun enjoying life through these difficult times. Don't forget to put on the song " All Shook Up " 🤪
