VINCENT PRICE CAESAR SALAD
Mr. Price's "Treasury of Great Recipes" is a wonderful cookbook that I'm privileged to have on my shelf! The style of recipe format is rather different from what we're used to these days, so I'm translating for a more modern audience. Posted by request. Times do not include overnight chilling, but do include chilling for the lettuce.

Steps:
- Night before serving (or 8 hours before): crush the garlic and add into the olive oil, then chill overnight in glass container in refrigerator.
- About an hour before serving: tear the leaves from the lettuce, wash well, and dry thoroughly (a salad spinner works well); chill in refrigerator.
- When ready to make salad: strain and remove the garlic from the infused chilled olive oil.
- Trim the crusts from the stale bread, cut into cubes, and brown them by sautéing over medium heat in 1/4 cup of the garlic-infused olive oil, turning them to brown on all sides; drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Pour the remaining infused oil into a jar and add the cayenne, Tabasco, sugar, and anchovies (which Mr Vincent says are optional, but you shouldn't try to make real Caesar dressing without them), cover with lid, and shake well to mix.
- Break the chilled lettuce leaves into pieces and place in a large bowl; sprinkle the lettuce with the pepper and salt, then pour the olive oil mixture over and mix to thoroughly coat the leaves.
- Put water in a pot and bring to a full boil, then take the egg and boil it for 1 minute; remove, crack the shell, and drop it into the salad.
- Sprinkle the lemon juice over the egg in the salad and then gently stir the egg into the leaves- it will come to have a creamy appearance.
- Presentation: when ready to serve the salad, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over it and then the croutons, then toss lightly to mix and serve immediately.
- Great with garlic bread!

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor, add the parsley leaves, anchovy fillets, Parmesan, lemon juice and zest, green onions, chives and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Pulse the mixture and slowly drizzle in the olive oil.

- Pour the lettuce and dressing into a large bowl and toss to combine. Garnish with additional Parmesan.
VINCENT PRICE WELLINGTON SALAD
Most recipes I've found online from Mr. Price have been from his best-known cookbook, "A Treasury of Great Recipes." This one, however, is based on one from the rare British paperback cookbook, "Cooking Price-Wise," which was a companion to a cooking show in the early 1970s of the same name, hosted by Vincent Price.

CLASSIC CAESAR SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY
Caesar salad is a classic, and we think our recipe embodies everything you love about the dish-it's tangy, creamy, crunchy, and garlicky. Drizzle little gem lettuce with homemade and hand-whisked Caesar dressing and top with torn-bread croutons and shaved Parmesan cheese. Serve with your choice of protein, if desired, but we think it's pretty perfect as is.

Steps:
- Make the classic caesar dressing: On a cutting board, chop the garlic and anchovies together to combine. Sprinkle with the salt. Use the side of a knife to chop and mash the mixture into a smooth, homogeneous paste. Transfer the paste to a medium bowl.
- Add the egg yolks and mustard to the bowl with the garlic anchovy paste. Whisk until the egg yolks lighten in color and become airy, about 2 minutes. While whisking continuously, drizzle in the vegetable and olive oils until the dressing is thick and emulsified. Whisk in the lemon juice; the dressing should loosen a bit but will still be thick enough to liberally coat the back of a spoon and should fall in ribbons when drizzled. Stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, black pepper, and salt to taste. The dressing will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Make the croutons: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, toss the torn bread with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Scatter across a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, turning the pan halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crispy on the outside but still tender on the inside.
- Assemble the salad: On a serving platter or in a large bowl, arrange half of the little gem leaves and season with a pinch of salt. Drizzle with ⅓ cup of the dressing and top with half of the Parmesan the croutons. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make another layer, adding more dressing to taste. Season with pepper. If desired, top with the protein of your choice, such as chicken, salmon, or shrimp. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your Caesar salad will taste. Use crisp romaine lettuce, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and a good-quality olive oil.
- Make your own Caesar dressing: It's easy to make your own Caesar dressing at home, and it tastes much better than store-bought dressing. There are many different recipes available online, so you can find one that suits your taste.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little Caesar dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.
- Add some crunch: Croutons or crispy bacon are great ways to add some crunch to your Caesar salad. You can also add some chopped walnuts or almonds.
- Serve immediately: Caesar salad is best served immediately after it's made. The dressing will wilt the lettuce if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Caesar salad is a delicious and classic salad that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, and it can be customized to your liking. With its creamy, garlicky dressing and crunchy croutons, Caesar salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
