Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Yankee Magazine has collected close to 300 recipes from the Northeast's best inns for this follow-up to Best Recipes from New England Inns (1991). Many are for home dishes, with lots of breakfast choices, hearty soups and chowders, and old-fashioned desserts and baked goods, but there are some more elegant ones too. Some recipes give low-fat alternatives or substitutions, and there is also a chapter of vegetarian entrees and side dishes. Recommended for regional libraries and other larger collections.

I'm a seller here on Amazon, and I was coming here to sell a copy of this book. But I made the mistake (?) of flipping through it first, seeing as I'm a cooking enthusiast who dreams of one day opening a B & B. I sat here and wasted an hour.

So many of the recipes look absolutely divine, and none of them takes up more than a page. So easy and straightforward! Better yet, there are tons of little sidebars that describe time-saving and flavor-augmenting tricks that the various innkeepers have in their repertoires. I am definitely going to start using some of these! I like this one: "Kitchen Tool Hall of Fame: What ONE kitchen tool would New England innkeepers and chefs take with them to a desert island?" And it proceeds to list their answers. Most of the recipes are also introduced by the innkeepers or chefs who submitted them, with tips about what they go well with, or possible substitutions.

Normally in writing a cookbook review, I'd list a few of my favorite recipes (or the duds), but I haven't tried any of these yet. I never realized there could be so many ways to make breakfast eggs or muffins. I am going to try these raspberry lemon streusel muffins this very Sunday. There's an impressive array of appetizers, salads, soups, and chowders. There are also three meat sections which I'll be ignoring since I'm vegetarian, but the following chapter is dedicated to main- and side-dishes for people just like me! Oh, and then desserts! I better not look too closely at this chapter!

Needless to say, I will not be selling this one.

I've owned this cookbook for several years now and keep going back to it over and over again. The recipes are yummy and practical. No hard to find ingredients or difficult techniques. Just delicious, tried and true recipes. Perfect for everyday cooking for your family or if you want something special for company. Its also interesting to know what inns the recipes were submitted from. Being a New Englander, I've stayed in some or are familiar with where they're located. I have many cookbooks but this is probably the one I refer to the most.
