"Good cooking is where you find it," according to the authors of this unique collection, whose international smorgasbord ranges from the haute cuisine of Europe's finest restaurants to the juicy hot dogs at Dodger Stadium. In perhaps the first celebrity cookbook, famed actor Vincent Price and his wife, Mary, present mouthwatering recipes from around the world in simplified, unpretentious forms that anyone can make and enjoy. Selected from London's The Ivy, Madrid's Palace Hotel, New York's Sardi's, and other legendary establishments, the recipes are accompanied by witty commentaries, while color photos and atmospheric drawings by Fritz Kredel make this one of the most beautiful books of its kind. Includes a Retrospective Preface by the couple's daughter, Victoria Price, and a new foreword by Wolfgang Puck.
A snapshot of Vincent and Mary Price's life.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Vincent Price Co-Authored a Haute Cookbook with Mary Grant Price, His Wife submitted by OlfactoryBookworm on August 4, 2019, 1:34pm Vincent Price may have been “master of the macabre” on stage and screen, but he and his wife Mary were quite continental. Don’t expect anything more ghoulish than goulash here, and relish the fact that someone named “Wolfgang” wrote the intro to the updated edition of this cookbook. (The cover of the old edition is pictured here and the listing omits Vincent Price’s name, crediting his wife under her maiden name).
