- Synopsis:
You don't need to be a master chef to join cinema's master of terror, Vincent Price, in the kitchen for this brilliantly bizarre crash course in very 1970s cookery! During the early years of that delicious decade, while he 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 souffle, 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. - Actors:
