Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I made the truffle dusted scallops over cauliflower puree with red wine reduction last week.The food was so good that I wanted to cry.It was easily one of the best meals that I've ever made.It was technically manageable, very creative (albeit with a lot of butter :), and reminded me of the dinners that I've had at the Inn.Since then I've poured over the cookbook and I'm even more impressed -- all the recipes are straightforward, clear, sophisticated, and can be done in a home kitchen.The recipes don't assume that there is a sous chef in the wings -- it's all very manageable for a solo home cook.The pictures are beautiful too.Cooking from and studying this book has definitely improved to my culinary abilities.I'm going to buy an electric ice cream machine now so that I can make some of those very interesting sorbets that are written up in here -- yummy!

I've never posted to Amazon before, but the book inspired me to add a review.Once my waistline recovers, I'm going to plan my next meal from the Inn. . .
