“Good cooking is where you find it,” in line with 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 in all probability the first celebrity cookbook, famed actor Vincent Price and his wife, Mary, present mouthwatering recipes from around the globe in simplified, unpretentious forms that anybody 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, whilst color photos and atmospheric drawings by Fritz Kredel make this probably 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 perfectly preserved snapshot of food culture in 1965. Price used his considerable resources to collect abnormal dining experiences across the U.S., Mexico, and Europe, and then documented and opined like a madman.” — Saveur
“The true joy of A Treasury of Great Recipes is the way it transports you to every other world.” — The New York Journal Review of Books
