Product Overview
Originally written in 1982 by Ella Jo Shell and then reprinted in 1996, Recipes from Our Front Porch has sold nearly 15,000 copies. Revised and edited, this third edition has been put together by Ella Jo's daughter, Lainey. Lainey and her husband, Mort White, came to work in the family business at Hemlock Inn with Lainey's parents, John and Ella Jo Shell, in 1987. Inside you will find her memories of growing up at an inn, raising children there, and embracing its lifestyle. But more than that, you will discover an abundance of recipes handed down from generation, served bountifully on lazy Susan tables at Hemlock Inn in Bryson City, North Carolina. If you have spent time on this small mountaintop of 58 acres and gazed at the view from the front porch, you know what it feels like when that bell rings at 6:30 for dinner or at 8:30 for breakfast, summoning everyone inside. Described as quiet, cool, and restful, Hemlock Inn is highlighted by its unique family-style dining experience.
