Customer Reviews

Holding a Master's in Preservation and loving to cook, it's

the perfect book for me. The recipes are wonderful, and set into "occasions" which makes for fun reading. There are lots of pictures, but if you're a Vanderbilt buff or have been to the estate, the Newport Mansions, or even Shelburne Farms reading the menus and the events for which they are planned transports you directly to the gilded age. It's as much fun to read as it is to use. Some favorites are the beef tenderloin with mustard sauce, pesto dip, fruited chicken salad and the Ham and bleue cheese bow tie pasta salad...recipes I've been asked for several times.

Excellent! Great photos, and delicious recipes!

This is a wonderful book for both cooks and people who enjoy historic homes. The recipes are "do-able" and delicious. The pictures show some of the loveliest rooms in the mansion. I do wish there were more pictures of the food.
