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, sidedishes, and desserts that can be made
from ingredients readily available in supermarkets and food shops.
Fascinating food-related historical tidbits add extra zest to the newly
typeset recipes and numerous color and black-and-white photographs that
enhance this handsome collectible edition.
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
insights into the Price Culinary Legacy.
