The Inn at Ormsby Hill

Contrary to what you may see or hear on the news, Manchester is doing just fine after Hurricane Irene paid us a little visit on Sunday.  All the shops are open, restaurants are still serving their wonderful food – and we are functioning just perfectly.  These photos were taken just before sunset this evening.

Come check us out for yourselves!!!!!!!!!!

Summer in the Inn at Ormsby Hill Kitchen

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

Manchester Center, Vermont

Just thought you’d like to see what we’ve been cooking up here in the kitchen at Ormsby  Hill.  There is nothing quite like summer with all the local products available to us.

Bacon, Blue Cheese and Vermont Broccoli Quiche

A Vermont Strawberry Triffle - A show-stopper which served 30 people!!

Foreground - a Vermont Black Raspberry Steusel Coffee Cake; Background - A Vermont Blueberry Lmeon Pound Cake

A Vermont Blackberry/Lime Curd/Meringue Pie - which Chris made for her 93-year old Dad on a recent trip to Boston to see him in a rehab hospital. He saw it on a recent cover of Bon Appetit Magazine and asked Chris to make it for him sometime. So a perfect surprise gift to him (and the staff loved it as well!!!!!!!!!).

So – should we all say “YUM” collectively for everything above!!!!!!

If you were visiting at Ormsby Hill – just think of what Vermont tastes you’d be experiencing.  Bon Appetit!!
