My love for Vincent Price’s culinary work is relatively new, I joined the legions of fans clamoring about the magic of The Treasury of Great Recipes roughly two years ago. I’m a Midwest girl, I’m slow coming out of the gate, but once I fall – I fall hard.
In correlation with the release of the 50th Anniversary Edition of A Treasury of Great Recipes, I wrote a piece for TasteBook. You may check out that story here which touches on the popularity of this title. Meeting Victoria Price and learning more about her dad’s passions and life was a highlight of 2015 and I was grateful to share that experience through TasteBook.
The anniversary edition is in our hands and it will join a spot next to the original on our shelves. It is just as lovely as it still has that old Hollywood quality look but on updated stock with sharper photographs. Fans of the cookbook state that their favorite recipes include the Banana Bread, Amaretto Cake, Luchow’s German Pancakes, Yorkshire Pudding and Hollandaise Sauce. Want to make a Bloody Mary or fold a napkin perfectly? The Treasury can help you there. We know these recipes were well tested and prepared repeatedly over the decades by many cooks.
Dover Publications made the 50th Anniversary Edition of this fabulous book possible and I am working with them to offer a great price on cookbooks through the middle of January. To the right, you will find a Dover ad block with a photo of Vincent Price. If you click on that box, it will take you to the cookbook section of Dover’s site. If you place an order, you will receive 25% off your total using the promo code shown. Dover has other titles as well – browse while you are there. This is a great deal in time for holiday shopping. Each month there will be a new Dover ad with a new code – be sure to keep checking back.

Diane, did you visit the Dover site – and look at the books?
A Thousand Ways To Please A Husband looks interesting.
I shared on Facebook.
Definitely “A Thousand Ways to Please a Husband”. I need some fresh ideas!
I shared! (I’ve always liked to imagine Vincent was a relative 🙂
I’m intrigued by The Settlement Cook Book 1903.
And I shared on Pinterest…
A treasury of great recipes… Always wanted a copy.
Nice Dover is reprinting. Of course, it would be fun to check out the other vintage books they have. The Picayeune Creole book, the Estes and the Miss Beecher’s caught my wandering cookbook eye.
The Russian Cookbook!
I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve never made a soufflé. The Soufflé Cookbook seems like the right choice for me.
Old-Time New England Recipes, I love anything New England.
Cookery and Dining in Imperial Rome looks very interesting
The Toll House tried and true. Great place before it burned down in Whitman, Massachusetts.
I would like one of their adult coloring books – Christmas Trees would be great! Makes me wish for Christmas right now.

A Thousand Ways to Please a Husband: with Bettina’s Best Recipes, Toll House Tried and True Recipes, and Austrian Cooking and Baking look very interesting.
Even if I win, I’ll order from great titles on Dover website.

Now if this guy would finally marry me, he’d definitely benefit from A Thousand Ways To Please A Husband, not that he doesn’t already get the milk for free.
Great cover!
A Treasury of Great Recipes, 50th… And the Tollhouse recipes
Shared on Twitter
It’s Sunday.
Happy holiday weekend.
The Pennsylvania Dutch cookbook looks interesting
I got my entries mixed up
The Toll House book looks like a classic for me.
When we were in L.A, Adam and I went to the house they used for the Vincent Price movie House On Haunted Hill. We also went to the LaBianca house, geez I’m kind of creepy, aren’t I?
This book looks just so interesting. It would be a fun glimpse into that time period.
My first choice would be A Treasury of Great Recipes 50th Anniversary. I just love Vincent Price and I’ve wanted to see this cookbook for awhile now. The second choice of mine would be A First Cookbook For Children.

The Settlement cookbook
After the 50th anniversary book I’d like the children’s cookbook.

Love the hanging copper pots
Just checking out Dover Publications again, and found out that they are having a flash sale on some of their coloring books.
Native Harvest looks good.
Wishing and hoping.
The Toll House cookbook. Great old fashioned recipes of New England cooks.
I’ll give a quote for today:
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
-Rabindranath Tagore
Looks great. Gotta have this one!
Please, please, please.
Looks like a great cookbook.
Native Harvests is cool looking!
Here’s a quote from Mark Twain for today’s comment:
“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.”

It’s the weekend! Everyone have a good one!

What a nice title
I live in the high desert of SoCal, and it seems we are having an early fall this year. It may be a bit hot out, 98°, but there is a bit of a coolness to the wind. This usually doesn’t happen until at least the second week of October. We are loving the weather and are can hardly wait for a cooler winter. Maybe we will get snow again! It’s been about 10 years since we had a good snowfall. Happy Week!
It’s Monday
The Toll House Cookbook.
I love Dover Publications. I got so many books for the kids while I was homeschooling, and always at a great deal.
Happy Tuesday
This book makes me nostalgic for the olden days when I first learned to cook.
Checking out Dover again, and I see they have a National Parks Coloring Book. Would be nice to get. I wonder if they have a picture from Joshua Tree Nat’l Park. That’s almost right around the corner from me.
Just saw The House on Haunted Hill again.
The Hawaiian Cookbook and The Old Fashioned Ice Cream book look good to me, along with many others.
Shared on Facebook
I signed up for Dover’s emails and got some free samples of books emailed to me.
Thank you! Checked out Dover site and intrigued by several cookbooks. Long Island Seafood Cook Book and Pennsylvania Dutch Cook Book. and I’m also interested in Spices and Herbs Lore and Cookery. Great selection 🙂
I shared on FB, Twitter, and Pinterest.
A thousand ways to pleasure a husband looks good for me! 🙂
I was looking again at Dover today and thought that my daughter would like Fascinating Science Experiments for Young People
By: George Barr. It would be a great help to her as she teaches her children science.
So nostalgic !!
Just got off the phone with my mother. It’s her birthday today. I would love to make her something from this recipe book.
Just checking in!
Thanks for the chance
