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
King"(TM) 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.
