Stevie's Kitchen

Does anyone know anything about Stevie's kitchen?
I'm a chef, and am so interested in what her kitchen looks like...I wonder if she just has a chef in house, or she cooks...
I don't rememer ever hearing anything about it.
Thanks

I think the only thing that Stevie makes is sandwiches and coffee

You know, I've never heard thing one about Stevie's kitchen. :shrug:

She said in a 2001 interview that she can make a real good omelet!

I don't know about her kitchen, but I know what she likes to cook in it. :D

From the book "Rock 'N' Roll Cuisine":

Sorry the 4th has already passed, but your Labor Day barbeque guests will surely enjoy eating what Stevie eats. :laugh:

LOL! ^ That's funny! guess she wasn't watching the carbs that day! :D

:lol: I had the same thought.
We know way too much about this poor woman's business.

LOL - the book was printed in 1988, so I'm guessing NO. :laugh:

And just for completionists' sake, here's Mick's recipe from the same book. He and Stevie comprise the publication's "Fleetwood Mac" section, and are listed opposite one another on facing-pages:

WHAT MY GIRLFRIEND SARA COOKS FOR ME

serves six (Some Kind of Shrimp Thing)

2-1/2 lbs raw shelled shrimp
1-1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
4 cloves chopped fresh garlic
7 cups chicken broth (preferably home-made)
1-1/4 cups chopped green onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
French bread

Melt 1/2 cup butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, mushrooms, and garlic, and saute just until shrimp are pink (about a minute - don't overcook). Stir in boiling chicken broth, green onion, and parsley. Remove from heat and add remaining butter, mixing until melted. Ladle into heated bowls and serve immediately with hot French bread.

"Then eat on"
-- Mick Fleetwood

I hope I got everything right -- Mick's recipe is printed at an angle, and jumps across the fold of the page, with some of the words disappearing into the crack. If you make it, and it tastes like crap, I apologize. ;)

Here's a photo of her kitchen in the Arizona house. This was on sale on eBay a few months ago, so I can't confirm it it's genuine or not....

It looks dated. That must be from a very long time ago. I think I've seen a more recent one so it must have been re-done since that pic.

You can see a little bit of the kitchen in the Enchanted tour books - well, the tile on the backsplash anyway.

I think it was that magazine, In Style, where a few years ago they did an article about her home in Los Angeles and she was having a small party with friends for her TISL release. And she did not do the cooking, but it told the menu for the night and then posted the recipes in the magazine. I do have the magazine, but it'd buried somewhere at the moment in the basement. If anyone is interested in the recipes, let me know, and when I come across the magazine, I'll copy it and post it here. It was a salmon dish, and then some chocolate mousse type of dessert, I think. And it showed pics of her home in LA and it was really pretty. And there were red rosed Don Henley sent her, and she mentions something about how he always sends her a certain type of rose. I remember thinking, I wonder how Don's wife feels about Stevie talking about him sending her roses. That may have been the same article that also mentioned the scents she likes to wear - making her own from essential oils.

MAMMA MARIA'S PORTUGUESE STEAKS
To feed four
cooking time 15 mins

Ingredients:
4 filet mignons
3 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup double cream
2 tablespoons worchestershire sauce
3 tablespoons tomato ketchup
4 oz unsweetened butter
6 large cloves of garlic (or more if you're feeling anti-social!)
1 oxo cube (or any beef boullion cube)

To Prepare:
Using half the butter, saute mushrooms in a separate skillet and put aside (add a little salt & pepper if you wish) Beat the steaks with a meat mallet to about 3/4" thick and trim off the fat - don't throw it away yet! Heat the remaining butter in another skillet, crush the garlic with a pressor into butter. On a high heat, sear the steaks both sides, add the bits of fat and let them cook slowly (about 6-8 minutes for pink in the middle) - meantime mix the cream, ketchup, and worchestershire sauce in a bowl with salt and pepper. Chuck out the bits of fat now! Remove the steaks from skillet and turn off heat. Now, add the cream mixture to the steak juice - don't do it over heat, it will curdle! Put back on medium heat, adding the mushrooms and their juice. Sprinkle in the boullion cube. Return the steaks, turning once in the sauce. Cook a couple more minutes, low heat, and serve!

Now, about the only healthy part of this meal is the salad you serve it with! So those watching cholesterol levels, beware --- Anyway, this is my husband's favorite way to eat steak so I hope you enjoy it too!

Oh yea, I totally agree. The kitchen posted looks like something you would have seen on the Mary Tyler Moore show. :D

Pfft Stevie doesn't use a kitchen anyway...and if she did, she would use a cauldron over a woodfire, and certainly would still use an ice-chest, no stainless stell fridge for Stevie!
