Menus, stories & regional dishes from 20 romantic North American inns.

Sharon O’Connor’s Dinners for Two, part of her acclaimed Menus and Music series, celebrates the joy of intimate dining with recipes gathered from twenty romantic country inns across North America. O’Connor—author, musician, and founder of the series—notes that dinners for two have inspired some of her happiest memories, and this cookbook reflects that warmth and spirit.

Inside, each chapter begins with a narrative introduction to the featured inn—its setting, history, and culinary style—followed by a complete multi‑course menu. Recipes are drawn from the Romantic Country Inns cookbook and adapted here for intimate dining.

This softcover edition, published by Menus and Music Productions in 1991 is in excellent condition and remains part of the first edition family. Title originally included a companion CD; it is not present with this copy.

Nostalgic Cookbooks: A Taste of Culinary History

Vintage cookbooks are highly sought after by collectors and home enthusiasts for their nostalgic appeal, unique retro recipes, and distinctive mid-century design. They make striking display pieces in kitchens, cafés, and on open shelving, combining visual charm with culinary history.

These cookbooks preserve the flavors, entertaining traditions, and food culture of their era—from molded salads and casseroles to early convenience food innovations. Unlike modern digital recipes, vintage cookbooks offer a tactile, authentic experience that connects readers to the past. Many feature handwritten notes, personal substitutions, and family cooking tips, making each copy a one-of-a-kind piece of culinary heritage

Collecting vintage cookbooks combines the joy of discovery with practical inspiration for modern cooking and entertaining. Whether hardcover first editions or charming vintage paperbacks, these books add character, warmth, and historical authenticity to any kitchen collection. Out-of-print titles, community-compiled spiral bounds, and promotional recipe pamphlets have become increasingly collectible as recipes migrate online.
