What is it really like to own and run a country inn? Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, is a world unto itself. A world of rolling hills, Amish horse-drawn buggies, and Mennonite barn raisings and home of the awardwinning Inn at Twin Linden, owned by Donna and Bob Leahy. Although the inn is known for elegant accommodations and warm hospitality, it is Donna's bountiful breakfasts and elegant dinners that keep visitors returning time after time after time. In this book, she shows you how to re-create the simple, fresh, and uniquely inspired country cooking of the Inn at Twin Linden. There's no better start to your day in Lancaster County, or your own kitchen, than one of Donna Leahy's breakfast recipes: Baked French Toast with Peaches and Blueberries, Apple and Walnut Pancakes, Smoked Salmon and Eggs with Sorrel, or Crab and Eggs in Chive Crepes. And then there are Donna's legendary dinners. In summer, start with any of her extraordinary chilled soups such as Sparkling Strawberry Soup, Crab Gazpacho, or Apricot Raspberry Soup. Warm soups for cold winter nights include Spiced Cranberry Pear Soup, Lobster Thyme Bisque, and Apple Cheddar Soup. Donna's salads, usually right from her gardens, transcend a simple mix of greens. Try the Minted Strawberry Salad with Balsamic Vinegar, Marinated Green Beans with Crispy Leeks, or Shrimp Salad with Cilantro and Sweet Corn Salsa. Donna's philosophy of freshness and do-ahead simplicity makes her recipes ideal for home cooks. Main dishes include Beef Tenderloin with Caramelized Onion Tart, Rack of Lamb with Mint Pesto and Chèvre Crust, and Seafood Pot Pie with Saffron and Dill. Desserts and teatime treats such as Fudge Pecan Tart, Raspberry and White Chocolate Tarts, and Wild Blueberry Scones are easy to prepare and will satisfy your guests' craving for a sweet treat. Offering much more than a cookbook, Donna also shares the highs and lows, joys and frustrations of living out the dream of running your own inn. Recipe for a Country Inn details the nuts and bolts of innkeeping (as well as sketching the unusual characters who sometimes are your guests). Join Donna as she takes you through the day-to-day life of innkeeping -- whipping up egg dishes for breakfast, taking reservations, setting up the sideboard for afternoon tea, planning elegant dinners, and most important of all, greeting her guests and making them feel right at home. If you love country inn cooking and have perhaps dreamed of buying your own country inn, enjoy the entire delicious experience in Recipe for a Country Inn.

For Donna Leahy, the usual morning fare is just a departure point for her original menus. Take oatmeal, for instance. Even that sturdy but mundane dish is transformed, combined with apples and pecans and baked into flaky phyllo packets. Eggs also achieve new status - with pancetta on potato nests or with risotto, spinach and parmesan cheese. Equally seductive are corn waffles with smoked salmon; gingerbread pancakes with apple raisin syrup or walnut French toast with poached pears and Stilton cheese. The dishes in Leahy's "Late Risers" chapter in particular move easily from early in the day to brunch and lunch, and then on the supper - and even beyond. Seared scallops with pink grapefruit and caviar, for just one example, make a lovely brunch, but they could as easily open the most formal dinner party. And why confine wild rice and almonds tossed in orange vinaigrette to the A.M.? Donna Leahy's cuisine is brightly contemporary, rooted in tradition and very much her own. In addition to her brilliant food sense, she has the advantage of cooking in the heart of Lancaster County, one of America's richest farmlands, and she shares her knowledge of fine ingredients with her readers. As a first rate innkeeper, she also has developed amazing organizational skills and in the final section of this book offers menus for entertaining and strategic one- and two-day plans for executing them.
