"A Treasury of Great Recipes" by Mary and Vincent Price was published in 1965
and contains wonderful photos from their worldwide trips, menus from
restaurants, and interesting personal information. The menu from Hotel De La
Poste in Beaune had a wine list that made me salivate. Wines from the 1930s,
1950s and 1960s that are probably just memories now. Cozy up by the fireplace
on a cold winter evening and read a "cook book"? Yes!

I think so, and I'm anxious to see the movie.

Linda and Dick (AKA Ricardo) :-)
