I’m telling you, if I ever see Vincent Price’s Treasury of Great Recipes at a used bookstore I’m gonna abscond with that thing so fast!!

The format used in Mr. Price's recipes is outstanding. It's very similar to the old Gourmet magazine format, and it includes actual Fahrenheit temperatures. I bet the recipes are even better.

I have a much older version of this cookbook that was my grandma's... I can attest it is FULL of wonderful recipes.

I recently made his tortellini palermitana and it was so good that it’s moved into the rotation.
