Description:
Located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, home of Amish and Mennonite farmers, the Inn at Twin Linden delivers relaxation along with great eating. Recipe for a Country Inn is chef-owner Donna Leahy's evocation of the award-winning spot and its cooking and, perhaps most interestingly, provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what makes such a place tick. Leahy pulls no punches, and in a series of "Notes from the Inn" ("Publicity" and "Guests," to name two) she recounts the nitty-gritty of day-to-day inn management. The inn is justly known for its bounteous breakfasts and dinners, and Leahy provides over 125 recipes for these treats, which include the likes of Baked French Toast with Peaches and Blueberries; Apple and Walnut Pancakes; Rack of Lamb with Mint Pesto; and Seafood Pot Pie with Saffron and Dill. Soups like Scallops and Sweet Corn Chowder and salads such as Marinated Green Beans with Crispy Leeks are also on the menu, as are desserts and tea-time favorites like Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding and Apricot Coconut Almond Bars. The recipes are readily made and come with tips and variations, like those for dressing up simple egg dishes (use a mixture of crème fraîche and herbs as a delicious all-purpose garnish). Illustrated with color photos throughout, many of which capture the beauty of the inn's locale in all seasons, and with shots of the dishes, the book will delight lovers of country cooking as well as those curious about the management of a vacation institution. --Arthur Boehm
