Elegant Comfort Food from the Dorset Inn: Traditional Cooking from Vermont's Oldest Continuously Operating Inn

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.
