In 1971 I met my gourmet mentor in Kentland Indiana and at that time, she introduced me to "Vincent" -- the wonderful cookbook she acquired some time earlier. It was truly "love at first bite". Her favorite dish was "Coq au Vin Rouge a L'Avergnate" which is the gourmet/French name for their Chicken in Red Wine. Truly an awesome dish! So many family favorites -- "Paella Good Friend", "Luchow's German Pancakes", pfannkuchen, "Poularde Pavillon" (chicken in champagne sauce) and the blender Hollandaisse sauce. All of the recipes I've used out of this cookbook, and they have been many, are precise as to ingredients and measurements, and all of the necessary steps are spelled out for the more novice cook. From the moment I was introduced to "Vinnie" (as my family refers to him today), my love for gourmet cooking has grown and expanded. When I'm looking for a recipe to really impress dinner guests, it's always Vinnie that I choose from. He & I have been together since December of 1971 when Santa bought him for me. I wouldn't trade that experience, the adventure in gourmet dining that we've enjoyed for all these years, for anything. I've given so many copies of this book to my dearest friends, to young brides -- it's truly a gift that keeps on giving! Enjoy!!

We received an original copy of this cookbook, first printed in the 1960's, when a friend cleared out her cookbook collection. We cannot recommend this book highly enough! Not only is it entertaining reading, with glimpses of some of the world's finest restaurants, but the recipes themselves -- while challenging and top caliber -- are clearly written, with easy to follow directions. It is hard to find a cookbook that describes preparing a dish with fresh truffles in the manner of a French chef, but yet is not intimidating -- this is that book!

I have been collecting cookbooks for nearly forty years (I was 18 when I started) and of the over 800 books that I have collected, Vincent and Mary Price's A Treasury of Great Recipes is easily number one. It is not only a great recipe book, it is beautifully pictorial and delightfully anecdotal. I have given at least two dozen of them as gifts when they were available.
