Goulash, Grisly Ghouls and the Funk of 40,000 Years. Before he was rapping on Thriller, Vincent Price was stirring up something far more sinister — a pot of Moroccan tagine. In the early 1970s, the horror maestro swapped bats for béchamel in his ITV series Cooking Price-Wise (1971), where his deliciously spooky tones guided viewers through recipes like Fish Fillets NoordZee and the ever-decadent American Ice Box Cake.

A true gourmand (with a flair for the dramatic), Price had already co-authored three cookbooks with his wife Mary — proof that his appetite for the finer things extended beyond blood and screams. Friends adored his dinner parties, though one suspects his ‘Theatre of Blood’ chef scene — where he serves a critic poodle pie — was inspired by genuine culinary mischief.

We’ll be screening some of the TV series where Vincent  prepares recipes from different cuisines around the world.  Expect to be served 70’s treats like goulash ( provided by the Harrison Hotel’s own chef)  as we celebrate Vincent Price: the only man who could make soufflé sound sinister.

This show is strictly for ages 18+. For any accessibility queries, please contact aoife@cqaf.com
