The Celebration Cookbook

Meer over het boek

"Throughout the 1920's, the well-to-do traveled in grand style. Lavish dining, sumptuous suites, and a leisurely pace marked their lengthy stays in cities around the world. A group of forward-thinking European hotel owners took note of the trend. Understanding the value of comfortable, dependable settings that catered to superlative tastes, they formed an association to collectively serve the elite traveler. In 1928, The Leading Hotels of the World, Ltd., was organized. Being a member of the group sent a message to the hotel's guests. It told them they could demand and expect the best. They could reserve at any participating hotel in the world, secure in the knowledge they would be expertly cared for. Today, more than 380 independently owned luxury hotels are part of The Leading Hotels of the World, Ltd. The Leading Hotels of the World are a home away from home to millions of travelers ; they are also very much a part of their country and culture, and are often used by the local community to host important gatherings. In this book, a group of distinguished properties share the stories and recipes behind their holiday celebrations."--taken from book cover front flap.
