reliving the magic

I was blessed to have dined this year at the Inn at Little Washington, which was an enchanting experience and a delight to all the senses. This book captures the experience well, and describes in detail why the place is a bargain at any price in terms of perceived value. I have given copies of this book to friends, so that they can begin to understand why I rave about the Inn. It is also a book about excellence, and should be mandatory reading for any who own a business or restaurant. The attention to detail and staff training should be instructive. This book, however, is not only for business owners and those who dine there, but should be a wonderful read for any lover of food. I also recommend the O'Connell book.

The Inn at Little Washington

This is a delightful book that, while it includes recipes and numerous photographs, is primarily a history of the restaurant, and its owners' goal of dazzling every customer. Their success and world-wide recognition speaks for itself. Despite modest beginnings in rural Virginia, the owners have tried from the outset to provide not just outstanding food, but also a memorable dining event. The lengths to which they will go to accomplish this provides lively reading, and a compelling desire to share the experience.
