Customer Reviews

Deliciously Flavorful

I bought this book in Vermont on vacation, at an amazing bakery ([...]; go there if you're ever nearby, and no, they did not ask me to plug them nor am I receiving any kind of payment for the plug). Every time I use the cookbook, I conjure both excellent memories and delicious food. I highly recommend the apple pancake (pictured on the cover), the squash gratin, and the maple nut cake. The book has tidbits about the restaurants that contributed the recipes in addition to the excellent pictures of the food and scenery. Enjoy it for yourself.

great addition to cook book collection

I bought this book as a gift for a young couple who recently moved to Vermont. I had read an article about the author who had lived in my town before moving to VT and thought the connection was intriguing. After getting the book, I ordered a second to keep. I love the premise of the book as well as the format. I have only cooked one recipe, pea soup, and it was a keeper.

You don't have to live in Vermont to love this cookbook!

You don't have to live in Vermont to love this cookbook. We live in Pennsylvania, and can get many of the same ingredients from our local farmer's market. This cookbook is for anyone who enjoys good food and knows the value of sustainable farming. Knowing the importance of buying locally produced foods, I found this cookbook to be a practical addition to my pantry. The recipes are easy to follow, yet taste like they were prepared by a gourmet chef. I particularly enjoyed the recipes for Blueberry Stuffed French Toast and Apple Covered Cheesecake. If you've ever been to Vermont, reading this will make you want to go back. The author does a wonderful job highlighting many of the Inns and Farms that make Vermont unique.
