Nobody
Cooks Like Ruth
Menus from Cherotree
By Ruth
Dondanville
History
has been forever frozen in time with the creation of one amazing
book.
In 1979,
in Williamson County, Tennessee, Ruth Dondanville opened the doors
to a restaurant she named Cherotree. She was unaware that she was
in the process of embarking upon a journey that would leave people
to this day talking of her magnificent culinery menus. Her unique
and mouth-watering dishes quickly turned Cherotree into one of the
most sought-after elite eating establishments that has ever been
opened.
Nearly
thirty-five years later, the magic of Cherotree has once again been
recaptured. Through the pages of Ruth Dondanville's Nobody Cooks
Like Ruth: Menus from Cherotree, she has sifted through the
most-treasured recipe she has used at Cherotree, and selected only
the ones she felt worthy to be associated with Cherotree's legend.
Readers will be intrigued to find one of the key elements this book
has is its ability to allow the reader the opportunity to get to
know the creator. Through her use of actual Cherotree menus, stories,
anecdotes, and cooking advice, you will find a wealth of priceless
information. Samples of some of the delicious recipes you will find
in this book include Vermont Cheese Soup, Pork Tenderloin with Rum,
and Apricots and Danish Caramelized Potatoes.
This
cookbook is one of the finest examples of Southern grace that I
have ever had the pleasure of reading and reviewing. Rest assured,
this one-of-a-kind book has found a permanent home in my kitchen.
Every time I refer back to it, I will be reminded of a majestic
place that once nestled in a small town near Nashville known as
Cherotree.
