Patrick O’Connell’s best selling first cookbook “The Inn at Little Washington; A Consuming Passion” (182 pages, 86 recipes and richly illustrated, Random House, Inc.) has won accolades for its elegant, easy to follow recipes and sparklingly original account of how Patrick, and his partner Reinhardt Lynch, built The Inn into a multi–million dollar, world famous culinary shrine.

His second book “Patrick O’Connell’s Refined American Cuisine” (240 pages, 125 recipes and richly illustrated, Bullfinch Press) defines the coming of age of American cuisine. Teaming again with photographer Tim Turner, O’Connell shares his updated and vastly refined versions of American classics such as Chicken and Dumplings and Macaroni and Cheese with Virginia Country Ham. O’Connell’s witty style and memorable recipes ensure this too will be a timeless treasure.

For a limited time, you can purchase both cookbooks for an introductory special of $85.50.
