Best known as a star of stage and screen, Vincent Price was also a noted gourmet whose enthusiastic promotion of home cooking included several cookbooks and a television show, Cooking Price-Wise. This charming book of Price's favorite recipes is based on the Thames Television series he hosted in the 1970s, which showcased timeless international cuisine. Scores of easy-to-make dishes from around the world include soups, breads, main courses, sides, and desserts that can be made from ingredients available in any supermarket or food shop. Fascinating food-related historical tidbits add an extra zest to the freshly typeset recipes and numerous color and black-and-white photographs appear throughout this handsome hardcover collectible.
This special expanded edition of Cooking Price-Wise stands as a true family affair, featuring new contributions from the author's children, including a Preface by his daughter Victoria and a Foreword by his son V. B. An extensive bonus section, The Culinary Legacy of the Price Family, includes baking recipes from Vincent's grandfather, the inventor of baking powder; journal entries from the author's eye-opening trip to Europe as a 17-year-old; and a selection of family favorites from Victoria Price's childhood. Plus, Victoria also provides a wealth of background insights to the Culinary Legacy material.
