The Carter House and Hotel Carter are a pair of small Victorian inns that have earned a big, big following throughout California and beyond. Located in picturesque Eureka, California, the inns tradition of attentive personal service and luscious gourmet meals has brought them almost as much attention as the neighboring redwood forests. The Carter House has won such national accolades as the coveted "Best Inn of the Year" award, has been featured in Gourmet and Bon Appetit, and was named one of the three best places to dine in northern California by Pacific Northwest magazine. This book collects the fabulous recipes and culinary secrets that have impressed so many visitors. From the simple elegance of Poached Pears in Zinfandel Sauce or Fresh Corn Waffles with Cilantro Butter to such show-stoppers as Marinated Grilled Lamb with Stuffed Nasturtiums and Raspberry/Mustard Glaze or Homemade Lavender Ice Cream, this is California regional cuisine at its finest.
