5. A Treasury of Great Recipes

A Treasury of Great Recipes by Mary and Vincent Price, is a luxurious volume, all embossed copper and gilt leatherette like a photo album. The book does, in fact, have loads of pictures, but most are of food or lavish restaurant interiors, with just a smattering of its famous Hollywood authors. Published in 1965

This book is a compilation of the Price's favorite dishes from their travels around the world. The book not only does offer recipes for readers to enjoy, but there are also reviews and heavy background information about some of the greatest restaurants found all around the world. Some of the recipes provide an easy dish to make, while others take hours to prepare and cook correctly. Many compliment the book in the sense that it provides so much higher-up cooking techniques.
