Product Description

For more than 100 years Chico Hot Springs Lodge, nestled below Emigrant Peak in Montana's Paradise Valley, has enticed visitors from far and near with its exquisite service and fine dining. Most folks come for the natural hot water pools, but it's Chico's rustic charm and unpretentious glamour that draw visitors again and again.
The restaurant at Chico has earned a reputation for excellence with its classic and sophisticated fare--exquisite appetizers such as smoked trout and baked brie with huckleberry sauce, a variety of salads freshly picked from Chico's large garden and hot spring greenhouse, numerous entrees including choice cuts of Montana beef and bison, outrageous desserts culminating in their famous Flaming Orange, and an extensive hand-picked wine list.
This cookbook reveals all the favorites (more than 100 recipes) and provides home cooks with the detailed information and tips to reproduce Chico meals from a simple dinner to an extraordinary picnic, barbecue, or wine cellar party. Filled with color food photographs and historic lodge photographs and historical tidbits, this book displays a visual feast of this getaway on the Yellowstone River.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recipes from the Treasure State, February 3, 2009

By	D. Black "food mistress" (Billings,MT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having had the opportunity to eat in the amazing restaurant at Chico Hot Springs, I was thrilled to have access to their recipes. I've made the Coconut Almond Tart twice and have gotten rave reviews. Most of the ingredients in all of the recipes are easily obtained at local supermarkets and are things cooks would have on their pantry shelves. The Cinnamon Bread Pudding with Vanilla Bourbon Sauce was a huge hit for New Year's brunch. I haven't tried it with the heirloom bread. I just used leftover cinnamon rolls. I have purchased three of these books as gifts and all recipients have commented on the ease of the directions and the down to earth ingredients. If you live too far away to visit Chico in person, you can get a taste of the fine cuisine at home with these recipes. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great recipes and beautiful pictures., July 30, 2009

This book is such a wonderful cookbook with great photography. I truly enjoyed the restaurant when I was fortunate enough to visit and though the recipes are great for any upscale dinner party the ingredients are not difficult to find. Truly a treasure in my kitchen!
