The actor Vincent Price and his wife loved food and were invited to eat all over the world. Here are recipes from restaurants the world over (often with menus reproduced), color photos of the places and special dishes-some with Vincent in them, and delightful stories of their experiences. This is a detailed portrait of world famous restaurants that includes menus, pictures and recipes from them, as enjoyed by Vincent Price and his wife Mary. Contents include: "Famous Specialties of the World's Foremost Restaurants Adapted for the American Kitchen" with recipes such as " Scampi Auroroa" from Harry's Bar, Venice, Italy; "Luchow' s German Pancake," Luchow's German Restaurant, New York." Luxurious padded decorated covers, useful information on all endpapers, attached silk bookmarks. Many menus of famous restaurants are included, fascinating in themselves, showing that you could buy a bottle of 1937 Echezaux for $55 back then!
