Cooking the Holiday Inn Way

I lucked out at the library book sale! I thought I was pulling out an old Junior League cookbook from the stack of cookbooks. But it's much better than that! I scored Cooking the Holiday Inn Way, from 1962, in excellent condition--for $1.00. This book gives descriptions of each Holiday Inn across the country and lists one to three recipes for each hotel. And these recipes look good! They predate the cooking with Campbell's and jello recipes of the 1970's and assume a certain basic knowledge of cooking techniques. The recipes are seafood heavy (although by no means do they neglect meatier dishes like Brunswick Stew). This is a fun cookbook and I can't wait to try some of Holiday Inn's old recipes.
