Another GREAT GEM by Joan Greene!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I found this book on a resent trip to Chicago. It has wonderful pictures and the history of four of Chicago's great hotels -- The Palmer House, The Drake, The Chicago Hilton, and the Peninsula Hotel. I have always enjoyed my stays at the Palmer House and loved that there was a beautiful book of the history and human interest stories. We tried the Palmer House brownie recipe over Thanksgiving and all agree that it is the fudge of brownies. According to Miss Greene's book, the brownie was invented by Mrs. Palmer, the original owner of the Palmer House. The book is beautiful and would be a great gift for anyone who travels to Chicago or lives in the city. There are several recipes in the book including the delicious Bookbinder's Soup from The Drake Hotel. Miss Greene is an excellent storyteller. I will be watching for more books in this series, and am giving several as Christmas gifts.
