The Masculine Touch
"Si, Signor, Spaghetti!" Chef Guy Kibbee can really prepare the much loved Italian dish so that one is almost tempted to gourmandize. Guy is now at work with Aline MacMahon in "Wanderlust" at the Warner Studios

ANYONE who thinks cooking is a woman's
l\ special prerogative should talk to Actor Guy
A. \ Kibbee for about five minutes. Or better
still, watch him in operation while he's "chefing"
it at one of his famous Italian dinners.
"Maybe a man wouldn't be very patient about cooking three meals a day," Mr. Kibbee admits, "but let him feel he's doing something very special, and by George, with a little practise, he can turn out something special, too. Every man should have one dish at which he excels. Mine happens to be Italian dinners."
Mr. Kibbee is a great enthusiast about garlic. "It's a flavoring that the true epicure approaches with relish. Here in America we are all too prone to cast it aside but its subtle flavoring is the making of many a dish."

experienced cook to glance at them and have a pretty good idea of what the finished product will be. The variety of condiments and seasonings which go into Italian dishes makes this more difficult so you really have to try the recipe to judge it. There are many sauces, for instance, for spaghetti, but Mr. Kibbee's is supreme. You'll be surprised what the addition of carrots does to the flavor — and you'd never know they were there. Incidentally, this sauce served over green noodles (green Tagliarini to the Italians) makes an excellent and rather unusual dish. You can either make green noodles or buy them already packaged at most grocery stores.
The most appetizing way to begin your Italian dinner is with an assortment of antipasto. Any five or six of the following makes an attractive, zestful plate: halved stuffed eggs, strips of anchovy, olives, sliced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, salami, cold slaw, shrimp or crab salad, celery stuffed with cheese.
Recipes for Mr. Kibbee's Italian dinner follow, together with some other recipes which we recommend when you want to serve something a little different for dinner.
