Interview with Bobbi Jo Lathan – Author of “An American Gal’s CookBook”
Bobbi Jo is a cookbook author, actress, musical comedienne and master of improv, whose talents have ranged from Broadway to Hollywood. She began her acting career in the Broadway production of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and went on to play the lead role of the Madam in the Las Vegas production as well as in several touring companies. A few years after her Broadway debut, Bobbi Jo was flown to Los Angeles to shoot a television pilot. While the pilot wasn’t picked up, she decided to stay in L.A. and quickly landed guest-starring roles on popular television shows such as Seinfeld, The Larry Sanders Show and Beverly Hills 90210, to name a few. She then came up with the idea to integrate her love of cooking with her acting, and wrote her own one-woman Food Musical entitled, Cookin’ With A Right Smart Of Love. This led to the writing of her first cookbook for the show, by the same title, followed by The Skillet Diva Cookbook and now, her third cookbook entitled “An American Gal’s Cookbook.
