The Vermont Country Store Cookbook: Recipes, History, and Lore from the Classic American General Store

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my mother who receives the Vermont Country Store catalog. It's such a neat and fun cookbook. The recipes look wonderful. I like that there is history incorporated into the book ad well. You won't be disappointed!!

Several years ago, my Mother-in-law got my brother-in-law a copy for Christmas and since that time, we have eaten many delicious recipes from this cookbook. The recipes are so outstanding that I had to get my own copy. The Roast Duck with wild plum sauce is absolutely first rate and the wild rice cakes are a perfect accompaniment to any autumn meal. Cannot recommend this cookbook highly enough.

When I first got my copy of this cookbook, I sat down and read it cover to cover. It is a great combination of stories and food, told in a way that gets you to smell the smells of good food and recipes passed from generation to generation. It is about an interesting family, a legendary store, a way of life, and great food. The writing is wonderful and charms you in to the Vermont spirit. The recipes are delicious updates to the originals -- don't miss the Cheese Straws or the Salted Caramel Fudge -- and I look forward to cooking my way through all of them. It's no surprise that this cookbook has been rated one of the top ten of the year.

Absolutely lovely book. Gorgeous photos, delicious recipes, and full of nostalgia!

This is a beautiful cookbook from and about my home state, Vermont. I now live in Washington state, but I really wanted this cookbookas a "keepsake" from back home! The pictures are gorgeous, and the recipes are very tempting, as well. I will need to make somethingsoon from this cookbook.......not sure where to start, as there are so many wonderful recipes! Also, I loved reading about the history ofthe Orton family and their business, The Vermont Country Store.

Great cook book - love the history added in! I love to visit The Vermont Country Store - their products are great and it's just a fun destination. Love this keepsake with the historical aspects of the Store as well as some great recipes!

Beautiful book and stories I so enjoy reading the history behind the store. Mouth watering recipes carefully collected from family favorites. Pictures are great to! A family keepsake! I have a ton of cookbooks but this one is at the top of my favorites. Warm stories about days and values gone by.

If you're an Easterner/New Englander or just wish you were -- this is your book for the holidays and the rest of the year. A luscious production of photography, history, family saga -- oh, and wonderfully delicious recipes. The salad dressings alone are worth the price of admission.

Die tollen Rezepte und die originale Aufmachung des Buches sorgen für Fernweh. Das Buch ist so detailgetreu wie der Vermont Country Store selbst. Ein Muss für jeden New England Fan.

I quickly flicked through this cook book when I visited The Vermont County Store in October. Due to it being a large heavy book, decided to wait until back home again before ordering it. It is a lovely illustrated and colourful book, would make an excellent gift. That's all I can say at the moment as this has been hidden away for Christmas.

This cookbook, without a doubt, is just beautiful, the history, the recipes, the photographs, unbeatable...... I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a cookbook with a story, I have accumulated quite a few since the early 80's , and this is now one of my favourites...... Thank you!

Lots of great recipes

Beautiful Book.
