Steak Diane from a Treasury of Great Recipes by Vincent Price
I have mentioned on this site that my Mother was a French Pastry chef at one of the few 5 star restaurants in the Chicago area in the 70's. I learned a lot from her. Especially my love for wonderful cookbooks, like Vincent and Mary Prices "A Treasury of Great Recipes". If you are a collector of fine cookbooks, this vintage book is a must have for the true connoisseur. This wonderful dish, Steak Diane is from the Famous Whitehall Club in Chicago. This dish is done table-side in the club, but not at my house! I have been making this recipe for years and years. It is always a home run and a sure fire way to impress even the fussiest.
