Mixing elegance with an island attitude, Louie's Backyard is an award-winning Key West, Florida restaurant famous for its fine food and relaxed oceanfront ambience, and what marks the food at Louie's backyard is innovation.

Chef Doug Shook likes to create new variations daily. "Inventing is the joy of cooking," he says, which means the recipes in The Louie's Backyard Cookbook are the best of many recipes Shook has created over the years. They are for people who enjoy the entire process of creating a meal, from procuring the ingredients to making a handsome presentation of a finished dish.

In this cookbook, you’ll discover delicious dishes such as:

 • Conch Fritters,
 • Key Lime Pie,
 • Jerk-Rubbed Free-Range Chicken Breast,
 • Sauteed Key West Shrimp with Bacon and Stone-Ground Grits,
 • Conch Chowder, and more!

The Louie's Backyard Cookbook contains not only 150 of Chef Shook's most creative recipes, but takes you behind the scenes through photos and stories to learn about the restaurant and the Key West culture that lures people with its beauty and keeps them with its liberty.

This cookbook is the next best thing to experiencing the islands themselves!

The Louie's Backyard Cookbook: Irrisistible Island Dishes and the Best Ocean View in Key West

Recipes from the Vermont inn that has delighted diners for over two hundred years: “Perhaps America’s foremost experts on regional food.” —San Diego Magazine

The Dorset Inn, an extraordinarily romantic special-occasion restaurant, is a destination for those who go through southern Vermont to ski and sightsee. People honeymoon here, have anniversary meals here, and come to the Dorset Inn to get away from it all. It’s a place rich with historical association with the very beginnings of America and American cooking. It was on the Dorset Village Green that the Green Mountain Boys prepared for battle in the Revolutionary War, and just down the road is Arlington, where Norman Rockwell created his most beloved paintings.

Elegant Comfort Food from the Dorset Inn not only celebrates the history of the inn and the spirit of America found in New England—it also is a practical cookbook containing recipes founded on a tradition of hearty portions, clarity of flavors, and transformation of leftovers into glorious meals, but refined and elevated. Cooks can turn to it for ideas for Sunday dinners, company’s-coming meals, candlelight suppers, and leisurely family breakfasts on a weekend morning. 

Elegant Comfort Food from the Dorset Inn is part of Jane and Michael Stern’s Roadfood cookbook series, which celebrates the finest regional restaurants in the United States.
