Stephen & Evie Colbert offer a cookbook that's also a window on their lives
Many years into their marriage, Stephen and Evie Colbert suddenly became co-workers
NEW YORK (AP) — Many years into their marriage, Stephen and Evie Colbert suddenly became co-workers. And that is why, in a roundabout way, we have their first cookbook.
During the pandemic, Evie helped keep her husband's “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on the air at CBS while the couple hunkered down in their South Carolina home.
“Evie was my crew and my only audience and my only guest. And it turned out we worked together well,” Stephen Colbert says. “We said, ‘We’ve always wanted to do something together. I think the thing to do would be a cookbook.'”
What emerged is “Does This Taste Funny?: Recipes Our Family Loves,” a collection of tried-and-true Colbert clan dishes like Spicy Lemon Chicken Thighs or Panfried Spot Tail Bass that also opens a window into their lives.
