Hi Jenny! I got the email from Victoria about all the new Vincent related things and I scrolled down and saw the new cookbook cover and title. I must say…I love both the title and cover! It looks beautiful and I can’t wait to get a copy.
Yay!!! So pleased you like the new title and the cover, we are EXCITED. Sorry I didn’t include your green salad photo in this post. I was hoping to get ALL test cook photos in one blog post but just ran out of time. Coming soon! Your feedback is in the book so thanks a million for testing xx
It’s so much fun seeing everyone’s photos! And I like the book cover!
Aw thanks Myriam! It’s been fun getting all the photos from testers, lots more to come!
So much lovely food and so many lovely photographs! So exciting!
It made me VERY hungry putting this post together VT!
I want to drink Champagne Lemon Ice in the bath until this whole COVID thing is over . I’ve never seen this one .. I’m assuming it’s some combination of Champagne, lemon and ice, but do I have to wait for the book to come out to get the recipe !! .. I’m all ready thinking of a Don Ameche Bourbon inspired variant ! Great cover . And got to do that Friday chicken some time !! I do love a well stuffed bird ! Ohh, errr, now I’ve said it .
Haha – yes, the Friday Chicken is a most excellent recipe and the Champagne Lemon Ice is good too. Oooh Don Ameche Bourbon Ice – YES YES YES!!! The recipe for the CLI is in this blogpost. The summer is coming, why not?! https://www.silverscreensuppers.com/vincent-price/silver-screen-sunday-vincent-prices-casbah – Sipping some of this in the bath as a coping mechanism for this ongoing madness very much recommended!
Ah, I see now that it is a more dessert/ souffle rather than a long Julep style Champagne drink I thought it was ! I get it now and what a feast that must have been ! Just about a year or so before I came across your blog I’d guess.
When I get my act together I’ll invite you over for a Vincent dinner, we can do one of the International Cooking Course albums I haven’t tackled yet. I think there’s a Spanish one… I shall ponder…
