Dairy Hollow House Soup & Bread: Thirtieth Anniversary Edition

Crescent Dragonwagon

For nearly two decades, Dairy Hollow House--a country inn and restaurant tucked into the Ozark Mountain resort town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas--welcomed guests from all over the world. Praised by the New York Times, Southern Living, Bon Appetit, and Good Morning America alike, the much-loved inn offered sparklingly fresh, innovative "nouveau'zarks" cuisine--respectful contemporary interpretations of local traditional cooking infused with seasonal ingredients. Although the famed inn is now closed, you can still enjoy the satisfying and life-affirming dishes by the James Beard Award-winning writer/restaurateur Crescent Dragonwagon in this thirtieth-anniversary edition of Dairy Hollow House Soup & Bread, a story rich cookbook as gutsy and distinctive as a steaming bowl of Gumbo Zeb.

Praise for this book

"This reissue of the iconic, thirty-year-old Dairy Hollow House Soup & Bread is a boon to a new generation of cooks and readers. Dragonwagon is a magical author: not only do her recipes sing with flavor; her storytelling enlivens every single page. Soup and bread in her capable hands create all the right magic for the body and soul."
--Raghavan Iyer, author of 660 Curries
"I love the food, the stories, and the passion so apparent in Dairy Hollow House Soup & Bread. My only regret is that I didn't discover the book when it first came out. I have no doubt that I'd be a better cook and host if I'd grown up with a copy, but now I am happily making up for lost time. This is a terrific book."
--Steve Sando, founder of Rancho Gordo
"One of my all-time favorite cookbooks. Crescent's wit and wisdom shine through, and the recipes are as timely and delicious today as they were when I first cooked them."
--Nathalie Dupree, coauthor of Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking
"Brilliant in its simplicity. A prime example of what a talented cook can do given a firm sense of place and a feel for its products."
--Village Voice
"Crescent Dragonwagon is the Alice Waters of the Ozarks . . . turning out a nightly stream of creations wherein the best of country and city converge."
