Publisher's Synopsis
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. The hardcover volume offers a wide range of recipes that include many regional favorites, from scrapple and hush puppies to johnnycakes, as well as a section on selecting and making wine. Richly illustrated with photos of historic American kitchens and numerous whimsical images, the book now includes a new Introduction by Darra Goldstein, Founding Editor of the journal Gastronomica, and a new Foreword by Victoria Price, the couple's daughter.
