This is a detailed portrait of world famous restaurants that includes menus, pictures and recipes from them, as enjoyed by Vincent Price and his wife Mary. Contents include: "Famous Specialties of the World's Foremost Restaurants Adapted for the American Kitchen" with recipes such as " Scampi Auroroa" from Harry's Bar, Venice, Italy; "Luchow' s German Pancake," Luchow's German Restaurant, New York."
