The recipe is dated around 1955 or 1956 when she was living in New York with her husband, the playwright Arthur Miller.
At the time, riding high on the back of the success of the Seven Year Itch, Monroe had just signed a four-film $100,000 per-film deal with 20th Century Fox.
The four would include Bus Stop and Some Like It Hot, for which she won the Golden Globe for Best Actress. Monroe and Miller later divorced amid accusations of affairs on both sides before her death in 1962 from an apparent overdose.
