More DescriptionDiary of an Innkeeper is a personal journey documenting menus and events of the author's Victorian vintage inn, the DeWolf-Allerdice House. This anecdotal journey compiles a selection of dishes and recipes that have been used to delight guests of the inn. Many of these recipes are original creations of the author.In her writings, the author reflects on the happy and sad bends she has experienced. The inn has been an integral anchor to many of the events that the author captures... events that include weddings, bridal showers, wakes and high teas.Just like a bowl of cereal and a dash of fruit will just not do for her breakfasts at the inn, guests are brought close to this innkeeper's inner being and genuine caring about their comfort and peace of mind. In this book, she describes her thoughts about living, educating inner-city young children over a span of 35 years, and her "from scratch" dishes that have delighted all for years.This journal is a reflection of all aspects of life, sprinkled with culinary delights, which include many holiday menus and their recipes.In writing this book, she wishes to share a glimpse of the inn's hospitality and the pleasure that the journey of inn keeping brings to her and her husband. More importantly, she hopes that your "visit" to the charm of the inn instills a little joy and peace in these troubling times.
