BIG Book Sale (Books for Keeps) Cooking Pamphlets - Ludlow Vermont and Serving Food Attractively

A Collection of Recipes From the Inn's Kitchen, no publication date. Recipes from the Governor's Inn in Ludlow, Vermont. The inn was voted Best Inn of the Year for at least three years in a row before the booklet was printed. The recipes reflect New England fare with a dash of the exotic - for example there are several dishes that include figs or curry as an ingredient. In addition to the food recipes, there are also a number of recipes for libations - including one I am curious to taste - Mountain Blueberry Chablis.

Serving Food Attractively, published in 1966.   The booklet was published as part of the Amy Vanderbilt Success Program for Women. The author, Ms. Vanderbilt, was an American authority on etiquette who also wrote a cookbook which contained illustrations by Andy Warhol (before he was famous). There are a few recipes, but mostly the chapters focus on garnishes which range from flowers, fruit, vegetables and herbs.
