A couple of Shelley's recipes was featured in Johna Blinn's column in 1979. A former food editor for Look magazine, Johna Blinn wrote a syndicated column called "Celebrity Cookbook." The column combined an exclusive interview with a celebrity with one or more kitchen-tested recipes by that featured celebrity. Along with an exclusive interview with Shelley, the column featured Shelley's Apple Brown Betty recipe and her Green Apple Pie. "I have a farm in upstate New York, where I grow my own vegetables and fruits," Shelley told Blinn. "I'm writing a cookbook about making preservatives, jams, jellies and chutneys," she added. Various celebrities were featured in the column such as Lucille Ball, Liza Minelli, Alfred Hitchcock, Kirk Douglas, Andy Warhol, Truman Capote and even Shelley's fellow Charlie's Angels Farrah Fawcett and Cheryl Ladd.
