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 show more favourites 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. show lessTags

This has interesting historical recipes, though many are either not to my taste or beyond my means of acquiring. Still, reading the chapter entries with Vincent Price's voice in my head made the book fun to read. Also, the section on wines was informative and helpful to this very uneducated wine drinker. It was written to be intelligible for those of us who don't speak the lingo.
