Mary and Vincent Price's Come into the Kitchen Cook Book (Calla Editions)

I love cookbooks and the history they offer and that's just what this book does. I haven't tried any recipes yet as I chose to read it first for it's historical information but it offers so many different recipes that I'm sure there's a recipe for everyone. The Charles Wysocki prints are an added bonus and help identify each historical time period when casually browsing through the book. It's very interesting, and how can you can wrong when authored by two such amazing people.

I got this as a Christmas gift for a friend and read it before giving it to him. Loved the additional text and vintage illustrations, most of the kitchen tools might be unrecognizable to some folks today. The classic photos of period kitchens are particularly interesting. Recipes are simple; in some cases the original is accompanied by a more "contemporary" version, contemporary in this case meaning 1960's era! It's as much a history book as a cook book and the Prices did a marvelous job. A basic guide to wine is an added feature I've not seen in any other cookbook.

An interesting and accessible cookbook with wonderful artwork. The recipes are designated by regions and eras, serving also as a history lesson. The recipes are relatively simple since one of the hallmarks of the Price's cookbooks were the ability for the average person to prepare the dishes described. That rare cookbook that are can adorn a coffee table, not just a kitchen nook. This edition includes glorious new introductions with the best coming from the Price's daughter, Victoria.

Picked this up as a Christmas gift for my son. We are both in love with it. The illustrations are funky and fun. The recipes we have tried have turned out quite well. He is a chef so much of it is really too simple for him but he has had some fun trying out new ideas and playing with the recipes. I have tried a couple and they were easy to follow which is amazing because my normal idea of making dinner is to call for delivery.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys great recipes and all things about food. Entertaining and useful. It would make a great gift for any "foodie" or chef in your life.

Greatest cook book by a wonderful couple...someone misunderstood but made the greatest book about cooking and it's hostory...a must have

Good

Loved the rejoices from long ago!

it is good, I liked his movies, so I guess it was an nostalgic purchase.

Libro de cocina del fantástico actor de películas de terror Vicent Price, el libro aunque sea de cocina también da miedo, llegó como se ve en la foto, pero nada. Lo volvería a comprar, el misterio de ver lo que te puedes encontrar no tiene precio (Price).

As described. Bought it for a gift and receiver loved it.

Excellent....Product as described. A+++++++
