No jacket required | Our Virtual Cook-up was a taste sensation

Over the past three weeks Victoria and myself have been hosting weekly interactive Q&A’s via zoom and our latest saw us celebrating Vincent’s culinary legacy with over 40 fans tuning in from all around North America and the UK. It was another great success with cooking, clips, cocktails and chat being the menu de jour.

The different time zones meant some attendees where making brunch, others lunch, while in the UK, it was dinner time – and everyone got into the spirit sourcing their inspiration from Vincent and Mary Price’s three classic cookbooks: A Treasury of Great Recipes, Come Into the Kitchen and Cooking Price-Wise. Here’s just a sample of what was dished up.

*Stateside, Sara crafted her own hibiscus and mezcal cocktail: Masque of the Red Death*

*Jaime prepared blueberry muffins, banana bread (no nuts) and iced coffee*

David whipped up some of Luchow’s German pancakes and as Vincent always did himself, gave the first one to his dog

*Clayton enjoyed Steak Diane and Mousse au Chocolat*

Britt’s mouthwatering contribution was Steak au Poivre, Champignon grille Marie Victoire and one of Victoria’s favourites – wilted spinach salad

*Michele prepared some fruit-filled French Toast Santa Fe*

Don and birthday girl Mary Kay whipped up some Blue Cheese salad dressing, *Tour d’Argent’s Soufflé au Grand Mariner* and Cannelloni alla Passetto

*Over in the UK, Chris and Pippa made a boozy trifle*

*Sarah made a very meaty spaghetti bolognese*

*Selene served up moussaka but with a Keto kink*, while we all enjoyed a rare never-before-seen clip from Vincent’s 1971 TV show, Cooking Price-Wise

*Jenny, my collaborator on the forthcoming Co*Star Cookbook, made Cannelloni alla Passetto*

*And I did Sweet and Hot Chicken, and one of my favourites – Banana Nut Cake*

Our next session takes place on Sunday 17 May (8pm BST), where the theme will be art and collecting – so show us your art, tats and the pieces that inspire you, plus will have clips and a discussion on Vincent’s lifelong passion for the visual arts. SIGN UP HERE

Then, on Sunday 31 May (9pm BST), we celebrate the birthdays of Vincent, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Just watch the film beforehand and then join in our Q&A session about their friendships and collaborations on film, TV and even radio.
