A Taste for Comfort Pacific Northwest Inns

Additional Details

Description: A new concept in cookbooks and travel books, A Taste for Comfort introduces the reader, not simply to enticing recipes, but to the finest inns in the Pacific Northwest. 

For well over a century, country inns have been an important part of Pacific Northwest history. These early inns served as welcome havens to travelers hungry and weary from the rugged forest and mountain trails. Many were simple, yet each offered homey hospitality, gentle charm, along with a well-prepared hot meal and a warm bed. 

Today, there remain many fine examples of this tradition. Anita Stewart, food and travel writer, has profiled 28 of the finest which offer a cozy, old-fashioned alternative to the impersonal fast-lane style of other present -- day motels and hotels. 

She found these inns tucked away in British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Northern California. They come in assorted sizes and styles, from a mountain ranch to a metropolitan retreat, from a secluded island paradise to authentic Victorian mansions. Among these inns, you will find an array of internationally acclaimed restaurants, award-winning historic- renovations, and you will enjoy the comfort of down quilts and the elegance of antique-filled rooms. You will, with this journey through the Pacific Northwest, indulge your own taste for comfort.
