30 Years After Vincent

Our hero Vincent Price died on this day in 1993, making it 30 years we've been without him. As we have done in my household every year for the last several years we will be throwing our annual Vincent Price Dinner this weekend, where we cook recipes out of A Treasury of Great Recipes, the cookbook that Vincent edited and published in 1965 -- taken from his favorite chefs at his favorite restaurants around the world the book is a classic (indeed it just got republished a couple of years ago) and I recommend everyone else also spend a portion of their Halloweens this way! Just be prepared for lots of heavy creams and mustards and aspic, oh my -- the cuisine of the 1960s was a whole 'nother beast y'all. But it's a fine tribute to the fine man who fully embraced his over-the-top horror-movie image while also funneling some culture to the masses on the side. Anyway keep your eyes on my Insta this weekend, where I will surely post some photos from the celebration! And I'm sure I've posted this before but below is John Waters' TCM tribute to Vincent from a decade ago -- it's always worth another watch.
