On Wednesday, October 30, at 7:00 p.m., the Orange Squirrel Restaurant, 412 Bloomfield Avenue, Bloomfield, New Jersey, will host the 2nd annual Vincent Price Cookbook dinner with special guest author Paul Castiglia.
For the 2nd annual Vincent Price dinner, chef/proprietor Francesco Palmieri will resurrect a selection of interesting dishes from A Treasury of Great Recipes by Vincent and Mary Price. Many of the restaurants referenced in the book have long since vanished, but Chef Palmieri has conjured up his own interpretations of six dishes from these greats paired with appropriate wines.
The restaurant is pleased to welcome back author Paul Castiglia as guest speaker. As he did last year, Mr. Castiglia will share more of those wonderful Vincent Price insider stories.
Guests are encouraged to bring any Vincent Price memorabilia and share any related stories. This will be an interactive dinner where Vincent Price movies will be shown, music played, and discussion welcomed.
