The Dairy Hollow House Cookbook/over 400 Delectable Recipes from America's Famed Ozark Inn (Hardcover)

~ (Author), Jan Brown (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Dragonwagon (The Bean Book, etc.), children's book writer and co-owner of the Dairy Hollow House in Eureka Springs, Ark., where Brown was an innkeeper, offers 400 recipes in the style of "nouveau'zarks" cuisine, a crazy-quilt combination of French haute and nouvelle cuisines, hearty Ozarks country and natural foods cookery. The offerings include Southern favorites like hashed brown quiche, angel biscuits, Savannah peanut butter pie and country-fried chicken with milk gravy. Special attention is devoted to vegetarian dishes, picnic fare, grains and pasta, fruit and chocolate delicacies, pies and cakes, and utilizing regional ingredients. The narrative style is verbose but agreeably enthusiastic; menus are suggested and the tempting recipes are easy to follow, but if readers get stuck they can peruse the glossary or call the authors whose phone number is included. Illustrations not seen by PW. Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book Club alternate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding! One of my all-time favorite cookbooks, July 13, 1998

By A Customer

This book is outstanding. The recipes are all tried-and-true, comparatively easy to make, and absolutely wonderful. And each is preceded by a warm, interesting little anecdote -- which a friend once described as "proof that somebody actually ate this". I really love this book, and cannot sufficiently recommend it. (I have all the cookbooks written by this author, and strongly recommend them, as well.)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best wedding presents I got, June 3, 2009

By	Laura Anglin - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Got this as a wedding present more than 15 years ago and I still use it all the time. Probably the cookbook I've given as a present the most. Herbed Mezzaluna bread is a great thing; the bean recipes are wonderful, and "The Salad" is astonishingly good.
