I believed the late US horror star Vincent Price was a bit of an Anglophile (he was married to Australian born but Brit based Coral Browne) and he spent sometime in this country. However,I seem to recall that he once had a cookery programme on British television in the seventies. I know he was a gourmet,but was he a Jamie Oliver of his time?

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif[/img]-->Vincent Price was an amazingly cultivated man.

Not only was he a gourmet and (IIRC) a Cordon Bleu chef, he trained in art and lectured on the subject all over the world. He was influential as an adviser and buyer for a number of the major American galleries.

All this and that marvellously self-deprecating (very British?) sense of humour.

As to the show on British TV, I can't say. But he was leagues above Jamie Oliver.

I remember him on a chat show in the 1980s, it might have been WOGAN, where he demonstrated how to cook fish in a dishwasher by wrapping the fish in foil and taking it through a complete cycle of the dishwasher. I think this may have been his party piece.
