Cooking Price-wise

£16.99

Released: 25th November 2024. BFI Flipside presents Cooking Price-Wise… 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! Early in that delicious decade, while he was on a sojourn in England, the legendary screen-star and fine-dining aficionado took an unlikely break from the macabre movies to rustle up this long-sought-after labour-of-love six part television series, encouraging bored British housewives to serve up something 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 favourites recipes from around the world – in this fantastic full-fat celebrity cookery show unlike any other!
