Our Story


“We had both observed the outpouring of love and respect that fans have for celebrities and we talked about how great it would be to harness that positive energy to help people who could use a little of it in their own lives. The idea of ‘The Hollywood Cookbook’ was born.”

Morgan Most

Growing up in Los Angeles, Morgan decided early to pursue a career in acting. She almost immediately started landing roles in numerous  television dramas and sitcoms such as “Vegas”, “When the Whistle Blows”, “Dallas”, and “Simon and Simon.”

It was during one of her guest appearances on the TV show, “Happy Days”, that Morgan met actor Donny Most. Two years later, they were married.

Morgan continued to work as an actress, appearing in such projects as the TV miniseries, “My Wicked, Wicked Ways”, and the feature film “The Man Who Wasn't There.”

When the Mosts decided to start a family, Morgan opted to devote herself full time to her children, volunteering at their schools, sports teams, and extracurricular activities. Coming from a family dedicated to public service, she has always been involved in community causes, supporting many local charities. 

Morgan graduated from UCLA with a degree in Theatre Arts.

Jackie Zabel & Morgan Most

Jackie and Morgan have known each other since their daughters were in kindergarten together. They both have brought different strengths to the cookbook. Morgan is an accomplished cook, and Jackie has a journalistic background. They put these skills together to bring “The Hollywood Cookbook” to life. They hope you have as much fun reading and using this book as they have had putting it together for you!
