Vincent Price was kind of awesome, you guys. In addition to being THE campy horror-movie guy, he was a world traveler, art collector, author, and noted gourmet chef (his specialty was Chinese).<\/p>\nVincent Price was kind of awesome, you guys. In addition to being THE campy horror-movie guy, he was a world traveler, art collector, author, and noted gourmet chef (his specialty was Chinese).<\/p>\n
In 1965 he and his wife Mary published a volume of recipes collected from their favorite restaurants, titled A Treasury of Great Recipes<\/i>. The original book is expensive on Amazon, but fairly reasonable at sites like ABE Books<\/a>. However, 2015 is the 50th anniversary of the book’s publication, and a new edition is scheduled for release this fall. There’s a website, Cooking with Vincent<\/a>, where you can reserve a copy and read a “road trip blog” by their daughter as she visits some of the restaurants from the original book.<\/p>\n But wait, there’s more! In 1967, Mary and Vincent published a 5-volume set called Mary and Vincent Price present a National Treasury of Cookery<\/a>, and in 1969 followed up with Come Into the Kitchen<\/a>.<\/p>\n And then, in 1971, Thames Television gave Price his own cooking show. Cooking Price-Wise with Vincent Price<\/i> ran for six half-hour episodes, and spawned a cookbook of the same name. The cookbook originally sold for 30p, and the cheapest I can find a copy online is $125US.<\/p>\n The TV episodes also sadly don’t seem to be available online; according to Horrorpedia<\/a> their titles were:<\/p>\n Dishes from Italy, America and Turkey (18\/05\/1971) Price also recorded audio cooking tutorials–his recipe for Viennese Stuffed Eggs can be heard here<\/a>–and did talk-show appearances like this one<\/a> with Wolfgang Puck.<\/p>\n If you wanted to throw a particularly offbeat goth dinner party, you could play some of Price’s horror movies in the background whilst serving some of his recipes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vincent Price was kind of awesome, you guys.
