Eating Vincent Price

Eating Vincent Price A blog based on "A Treasury of Recipes," by Vincent & Mary Price, circa 1965. But it's about more than that. It's about a relationship with a treasured artifact.

Eating Vincent Price is a publishing venture created by Chicago author Christopher "Bull" Garlington in which he performs an exegesis on A Treasury of Great Recipes, by Vincent and Mary Price. In a way, it is a cook-through blog similar to thousands of others in which the author heaves himself feet first into preparing dishes he doesn't have the training nor the savvy to bring together even under

the best of circumstances. It's about family. It's about more than the recipes printed on each page. It's about more than Vincent Price. It's about the culinary history of America. It's about our evolving relationship with food. It's about elegance and luxury and aspirations to those virtues. It is about the brilliant, complex luxury of fine dining as presented in the Treasury and the two books Garlington will one day write based on this massive tome.

After my parents divorced, Easter became the holiday I always spent with my dad. This was our first one. It was 1974 and I was about to turn 12. My mom and I were living in an apartment, she was trying to get back on her feet, and it wasn’t easy for her that first year. She didn’t want anyone to know about her life as the former Mrs. Vincent Price as she began a new career in architectural design by remodeling a new house where we would eventually move. But it’s hard to hide a 6’4” movie star with one of the most recognizable voices on the planet — so we usually met my dad in the parking lot of a grocery store off the freeway. But that Easter he picked me up where we lived. And my mom did what she had always done — capture the moment on camera. I was so happy to be with my dad that I never thought about how hard it must have been for her to watch us drive away. But I did know how grateful I was that both of my parents remained friends and always wanted the best for each other and for me. (Which wasn’t always easy because of my stepmother.) I will always think of my dad on Easter, but this photo reminds me how grateful I am for the person who took all these pictures of my dad and me — my mother. My dad taught me to see the joy in life. My mother taught me to capture it on film. Together they gave me what would become the daily practice of joy that has saved me over and over again. On this Passover and Easter weekend, I am filled with gratitude for their living Love.

Stuffed Cornish hens served in parchment paper, or en papilotte, is a surprising and elegant way to serve a double whammy of flavor.

Filet de sole is a classic restaurant staple, but serving it in tiny bread dishes is a variable from Lasserre that makes this dish incroyable

Périgueux is the Frenchiest part of France and this sexy salmon mousse should be its poster child because it is perfect and will get you laid.

Potage St Germain is fresh pea soup made in the French style and is different from snert, mentioned by Vincent Price in the Treasury.
