'It’s just a quick little wet and dry ingredients, toss them together and into the oven,' he said. Ogden’s own contribution, the recipe for his oft-requested blue corn muffins, is an example of the book’s accessibility, he said. 'People can actually pick it up and cook from it.' This is a coffee-table book,' and indeed it is, large-format and weighty and a little difficult, maybe, to keep on the kitchen counter when you’re cooking.īut Bradley Ogden, who has an eponymous restaurant at Caesars Palace and contributed to the book, said that what he likes about it is that it is, very much, a cookbook. This is not a book you will find in the kitchen in anyone’s home. Hickman said that during talks with the publisher, Chronicle Books, she stressed: 'This is not a cookbook. What resulted is 'The Seven Stars Cookbook,' a collection of more than 125 recipes from restaurants at Harrah’s casinos and nongaming properties. Which is impossible, of course, except through the magic of print.

We need to get them in one location, in one place.' There’s too many great restaurants in our company.

Hickman said the idea came up during talks with a literary agent she’d worked with in the past: 'We should do a cookbook.

But she didn’t think most people were aware of how many good restaurants Harrah’s has nationwide. Kathy Hickman, corporate director of lifestyles events for Harrah’s Entertainment, travels to the company’s properties across the country quite a lot - which means she eats at the company’s properties quite a lot.
