"From the time a healing sulphur spring was discovered in the scenic Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia in 1778, The Greenbrier was destined to become an exclusive retreat of legendary proportions. In a lavish setting that has hosted presidents, potentates and society figures, dining has always ranked among the resort's finest pleasures. The Greenbrier means many things to many people, but foremost for anyone would be the experience of world-class cuisine and regal entertaining so characteristic of the place. Through fascinating tales, beautiful photographs and a collection of timeless recipes, [the book] presents the culmination of 200 years of gracious dining and service. An introductory chapter weaves a lively narrative of the resort's rise to culinary excellence. From The Greenbrier archives come accounts of the rustic dining hall beside a frontier "watering place" that grew to become today's paradigm of grace and luxury. A vast array of sumptuous recipes follows, along with outstanding photography of many of the dishes. Prized decorative arts and stately architecture throughout this National Historic Landmark form the backdrop for scenes that should inspire your own settings for entertaining. These favorite recipes will guide you in preparing a rich and diverse sampling of The Greenbrier's famous courses. you will recognize traditional favorites alongside exciting new dishes that showcase the best of America's regional cuisines.
