Cooking, Food & Wine

Description

The 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.

I love learning new recipes and if they happen to be from celebrities that is even better. Vincent Price was an amazing actor and clearly a pretty awesome cook. He and his wife Mary looked forward to cooking for family and friends and considering the recipes in this book, I'd say they were pretty popular. I love that the introduction is by their daughter Victoria. The dishes come from all different eras in American cuisine. My Grandmother had this book when it originally was released in the 60"s and I always remember trying to take it off her shelf and look at it but it was like a prized possession. The recipes are delicious and this new updated intro gives the reader a peek into what it was like growing up with celebrity parents at that time. There are pictures not only of the food but also of different kitchens in different eras. This cookbook isn't just meant to sit on the counter, it's meant to be a conversation starter.

I never knew Vincent Price was such a gourmet! This is so much more than a cookery book, it is a lovely history of American food in photographs and recipes. Some of the food may not be as palatable today as it was years ago but this is a very interesting read for all foodies and fans of the great man.
