I have had this book for many years. Everything I made from it was delicious and I love reading cookbooks that put some info/stories about the origins of the recipes in with the recipes. I like Crescent Dragonwagon, she is a great writer and cook. Her story is interesting too.
Now that we are Gluten and Dairy Free, I hadn't cracked this book in a while. Her recipe for Shchi (Russian Cabbage Soup) is so good, my entire family loves it and it is way better than the cabbage soup at the Jewish deli....more

Crescent Dragonwagon's soups are as unforgettable as her name! Crescent's "Innecdotes" about running the Dairy Hollow House Inn are interspersed with really, really good recipes. Two family favorites are the Colcannon soup and the skillet-sizzled cornbread recipe. The secret to the cornbread is to spray your cast-iron skillet with Pam, melt a bunch of butter in it on the stovetop and then pour in your cornbread batter and bake in the oven. Love it (and so do my hips)! This is not simple recipe b...more
Entertaining to read. The author's formula for "The Soup" triggered an "Ahah!" moment for me and made my soup-making both more fun and more dependable. (X cups of brothy liquid, X cups of substantial liquid, X cups of aromatics like onions and ginger, etc., X cups of main vegetables, plus optionally X ounces of protein per serving)
This book is how I learned about Crescent Dragonwagon. I haven't mastered the bread part by any stretch of the imagination, but I have learned a lot about soup from this book. The many bean soup is a standby for me. Try it!
One of my very favorite cookbooks, I have made many recipes in here over and over. Anecdotal stories and a great resource for bed and breakfast, Why invent the wheel? Just make her recipes at you place!
I love this cookbook. I have referred to it again and again over the last...10+ years or so. And, the auhtor Crescent Dragonwagon has wonderful personal stories from her B&B throughout.
a lifetime worth of soups and helpful hints. i have a few favorites and keep pulling this out (especially in the winter).
Thanks to Crescent, I understand why we want to leave little pearl sized bits of butter in the biscuit dough.
I picked a copy of this up at the Moss Mansion in Billings, MT. It's a very user friendly cookbook. I especially like the easy-to-use universal recipe for "The Soup." It presents a no-nonsense blueprint for an endless variety of soups that are easy to make, healthy, low-fat and darn good.
