Cooking with Vincent Price
In the 1970’s actor, art collector and connoisseur Vincent Price recorded a series of 12 cassettes called, “The Beverly Hills Cookbook,” later titled, “Push Button Cookery,” to capitalize on the growing popularity of portable audio players. We acquired a set of these tapes while yard sale rummaging one Saturday morning and were immediately taken by Price’s familiar voice and wonderfully charming character. It was after playing these deliciously narrative recipes that we both realized how much we really missed his presence. He was a gentleman who has never been matched in graciousness, taste and a lover of everything life had to offer–characteristics that are sorely missing today. The recipes aren’t bad either. We digitized the tapes and are making them available here for your enjoyment. Listen to them all, and try out a few recipes in the same spirit as they are presented. We hope you savor them as much as we have.
Tip: If you Right-Click on a title and select “Save Link As,” you can download the file to your PC then transfer it to your MP3 player and listen to his mellifluous voice on the way to work in the morning as I do. Clicking on the
will utilize a built-in MP3 player for playback.

[...] We keep making a big deal out of Vincent Price’s culinary talents. Rox went and found some additional MP3s of him talking food. Vincent Price talking anything is pretty cool with us. Find that here. [...]
I think I love you. What an awesome find, and thank you so much for taking the time to digitize the tapes!
