In one of the more unlikely releases in the past twelve months, we are getting a quite unique cooking course from one of Hollywood’s most revered stars.
You don’t need to be a master chef to join cinema’s master of terror, Vincent Price, in the kitchen for Cooking Price-Wise, a brilliantly bizarre crash course in very 1970s cookery! Never previously released on any format, it comes to Blu-ray courtesy of BFI Flipside on 25 November, making it the perfect Christmas gift for all fans. Many extras include a new interview with daughter Victoria Price, new audio commentaries, Silver Screen Suppers’ Jenny Hammerton preparing classic Price dishes and more.
During the early years of that delicious decade that was the 1970s, while Vincent Price was on a sojourn in England, the iconic screen star and fine-dining aficionado took an unlikely break from macabre movies to rustle up this six-part television series, a labour of love designed to get bored British housewives serving up something a little different. From melon monsters to crocodile cucumbers, not forgetting the perfect soufflé, the marvellous Mr Price is your genial and garrulous host amid the paisley-patterned saucepans as he demonstrates favourite recipes from around the world – in a fantastic, long-sought-after full-fat celebrity cookery show unlike any other.
Cooking Price-Wise is released on BFI Blu-ray on 25 November 2024.
