A Treasury of Great Recipes

The distinguished American actor Vincent Price was well-known around the world for his distinctive voice and many prominent roles on both stage and screen. Price’s extensive travels provided ample opportunities to collect interesting and unusual recipes, which he tested in his home kitchen with his wife, Mary Grant Price, a noted costume designer and authority on Americana.

A Treasury of Great Recipes is an open table for armchair travelers seeking a peek inside the world's great restaurants. Interior decor, artistically rendered menus, recipes, even napkin-folding lessons are offered in this treasured collection
