Mary and Vincent Price's Come into the Kitchen Cook Book

€œThe well-known actor and seasoned gourmet invites families to come together in the heart of every home €” the kitchen €” with another fabulous guide to cooking. Vincent Price and his wife, Mary, authors of the classic A Treasury of Great Recipes, turn their attention to four centuries of traditional American dishes in this charming cookbook. Starting with the chowder, stewed cod, and hasty pudding of early America, the collection ranges through scrapple, apple pandowdy, and other regional favorites of the nineteenth century to the recipes of modern America, from vichyssoise to corned beef cheeseburgers to cherries jubilee.

An informative and atmospheric introduction precedes each historical section, followed by the straightforward, easy-to-follow recipes. In addition, the Prices present a complete section on wines that features the story of wine making as well as helpful information on how to shop for domestic or imported vintages and which to serve with various foods, plus advice on crafting homemade wine.

Richly illustrated with photos of historic American kitchens and numerous whimsical images, this edition includes a new Foreword by Victoria Price, Mary and Vincent's daughter, as well as a new Introduction by Darra Goldstein, Founding Editor of the journal Gastronomica.

A Calla Edition, originally published by the Stravon Educational Press, New York, 1969 edition€¦€�



A TREASURY OF GREAT RECIPES:

http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/...okbook-revived

€œThe late Vincent Price was a horror film icon. With perfect elocution, he delivered creepy invitations to haunted houses in such movies as House of Wax (1953) and House on Haunted Hill (1959). He was a regular on TV's Hollywood Squares and a villain on the 1960s TV series Batman. Price's deep voice narrated Michael Jackson's 1982 music video for "Thriller" and was an inspiration to director Tim Burton. But Price was also a foodie...

Price and his second wife, Mary, were such food connoisseurs that in 1965, they wrote a best-selling cookbook, A Treasury of Great Recipes. It's been out of print until now. Victoria helped get the book reissued for its 50th anniversary, with a preface by chef Wolfgang Puck...

The cookbook includes Mad Men-era recipes, old menus, the original typeface and the original photos by jazz photographer William Claxton, Life magazine's Eliot Elisofon, and artist Tosh Matsumoto. The images feature sumptuous spreads and waiters from legendary restaurants around the world. There's stuffed trout from La Pyramide in Lyon, France; gazpacho Andaluz from the Sobrino de Botin in Madrid (considered the oldest restaurant in the world); frog's legs polonaise from Sardi's in New York...

Price says her folks also believed that gourmet was not just for the elite and that ambiance was everything. So they also included recipes for French toast, which they used to eat on the Santa Fe train from LA to New Mexico, and hot dogs, like the kind they relished while watching the Dodgers play baseball€¦€�

I never knew Vincent Price was a gourmet... can't ask for a better
cook book author to represent Halloween. Thank you.

I'm glad those cookbooks are being reprinted, they are quality reads. He was a fantastic person, a gentleman of the old school, it's too bad no more like him are extant. Tonight I'm going home to watch him in _House of Wax_, it's one of those early 50's 3-D movies, I always like it when the guy who is shilling for the waxworks theater outside on the sidewalk BOINGS that ping - pong ball out of the screen into the audience, lotsa fun...

He was an art collector, too...I guess one could call him a "Renaissance Man", another type that we don't have much of anymore in this debased world.

I like your taste in movies and, I suppose, people.

I have the Vincent Price cookbook, but I've never really read through it.

I remember Vincent Price and his wife, Coral Browne, advertising
some food product. He was bent over a pot on the stove and stirring
and she was in the background. For the life of me I can't remember
what brand or what it was they were advertising.

I don't recall that, either. He did do a lot of commercials. Dairy -
milk & cheese, for example:

1977:

I don't recall them, but I hate 'em! Why? You think Vincent is
evil!? Nestle's is one of the most evil companies on this planet.

BTW, I'll be watching House On Haunted Hill, this Halloween. Classic
Vincent Price!

Vincent Price was, by all accounts, a very personable fellow who made a
fortune being typcast. Certainly not evil. Yes, I know how you feel
about Nestle. Did you feel that way in 1977?

He did a lot of great old spooky movies. I prefer the The Pit & the
Pendulum.
