Sharing the Table at Garlands Lodge

What a beautiful book-a joy from the very first page.As a non USA resident I wondered if I would find the recipes in this book useful and, although some of the ingredients are unknown or unavailable, the number of recipes I can use make the book's purchase well worth while.Sections on salads,soups, sweets and main dishes all have something to appeal and the history of Garlands Lodge makes for fascinating reading.As a collector of hundreds of recipe books,I rate this book one of my top 50.

Excellent, personable, delicious. What more could you want?

As you read through the pages of this wonderful cookbook you quickly feel like a personal friend of the authors as they welcome you to Garland's Lodge in the beautiful mountains of Sedona, Arizona. This book is a collection of pictures, history, and a very personal look at the Lodge as well as a collection of their most popular Lodge recipes. The recipes run the gamut from the very basic to wonderfully crafted creations. Some of the recipes not to miss include Molasses Gingerbread, Grodzinsky's Apple Cake, Cheddar Crisps, Herb-rubbed Roast Chicken with Lemon Herb Vinaigrette or Mushroom Thyme Sauce, Baby Back Ribs with Ancho Honey Barbecue Sauce, Beef Filets with Forest Mushroom Sauce, Creamy Green Chile Rice, Lemon-Almond Cake, and Chocolate Profiteroles. The only problem with the book is the lack of captions for the mouth-watering food pictures. When you see something that piques your interest it might take a few minutes of effort to find out which recipe is being shown. Other than that one problem the book is excellent. I found myself wanting to visit the Lodge and savor the recipes in the atmosphere in which they were created. Sharing the Table at Garland's Lodge is highly recommended.

A Beautiful Treasure

What a labor of love this book is, and it reflects the feeling of Garland's Lodge on every page. The recipes are wonderful, and the stories make you feel as if you're right on property, which is one of the most divine experiences one can have. Thank you Amanda & Mary for this lovely book,which will be dogged eared and stained much too soon- I think I shall buy my back-up now!!
