When I first started this blog way back in 2006 thought of it as an online diary. I just recorded the movie star dishes I had tried, without sharing the recipe or even a photograph. Remember the days when nobody took photos of their food?! I am always happy to share recipes with readers, so...
It’s Vincent Price’s birthday today. Let’s celebrate with a round up of some of the dishes cooked for the forthcoming Vincent Price cookbook by our wonderful volunteers.
