Birmingham-based culinary wizard Annabel de Vetten (aka Annabel Lecter) is cooking up a fantastic event on Sunday 28 May as her
Conjurer's Kitchen plays host to Vincent Price's Birthday Bash at The Electric Cinema, starting 8pm. Tickets are selling fast, so book now!
Legendary horror actor Vincent Price is best remembered for his delightfully scary turns in such classic fright fests as
House of Wax,
The Fly and
Theatre of Blood – and also being the voice of Michael Jackson’s
Thriller and an inspiration for fantasy directors like Tim Burton.
But
Vincent Price was also a Renaissance man with omnivorous appetite for
life, art, travel – and fine food. In fact, in the 1960s, the ghoulish
gourmand and his wife Mary published a number of celebrated cookbooks –
including the lavish best-seller,
A Treasury of Great Recipes, featuring a host of
Mad Men-era treats, and
Come Into the Kitchen, which was devoted to traditional American cuisine. Both of these gastronomic tomes have been given lavish reprints, while
Cooking Price-Wise, based on the actor’s British 1970s TV show, will be back in print later this year.
Conjurer’s Kitchen is proud to
celebrate the King of Horror’s culinary legacy by drawing from those
tomes to call forth gastronomic ghosts of kitchens past iat
Birmingham’s Electric Cinema, which will take place over the weekend on what would have been
Vincent’s 106th birthday (he was born on 27 May 1911).
Special guest will be Vincent and Mary’s daughter
Victoria Price,
an author and inspirational speaker, who will pay tribute to her dad
with a very personal presentation, and talk about his cultural legacy of
inspirational living, dining, and exploring the world.
Expect classic clips, tasty bites, and a few surprises!
