A Treasury of Great Recipes contains famous specialties of the world's foremost restaurants adapted for the American kitchen. This collection of recipes was culled from the chefs at Vincent Price's favorite classy restaurants. Included are anecdotes about the restaurants, the foods and his friends, as well as photos of some of the best restaurants in the world and their menus. Many of these restaurants are gone now.

From the Back Cover:

"Good cooking is where you find it," according to the authors of this unique collection, whose international smorgasbord ranges from the haute cuisine of Europe's finest restaurants to the juicy hot dogs at Dodger Stadium. In perhaps the first celebrity cookbook, famed actor Vincent Price and his wife, Mary, present mouthwatering recipes from around the world in simplified, unpretentious forms that anyone can make and enjoy. Selected from London's The Ivy, Madrid's Palace Hotel, New York's Sardi's, and other legendary establishments, the recipes are accompanied by witty commentaries, while color photos and atmospheric drawings by Fritz Kredel make this one of the most beautiful books of its kind. Includes a Retrospective Preface by the couple's daughter, Victoria Price, and a newForeword by Wolfgang Puck.
A Calla Edition, originally published by Ampersand Press, Inc., New York, 1965."
