Bavarian Inn's "From My Kitchen to Yours" Now Available

FRANKENMUTH, Mich., Sept. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a much-anticipated reprise of her successful 2011 "Come Cook With Me" collection of recipes, wisdom, and stories comes Bavarian Inn 92-year-old matriarch Dorothy Zehnder's newest tome, "From My Kitchen to Yours."  Featuring 195 hand-picked, family-favorite recipes from her vast 1,000-plus personal collection, this 196-page edition features more recipes, kitchen tips and memories from both her home and the restaurant.

Like its predecessor, the newest publication contains a number of Bavarian Inn signature recipes that have not been revealed before. The cookbook is now on sale to the public, and can be purchased in person at the Bavarian Inn Restaurant, Bavarian Inn Lodge, ordered online or by phone. Dorothy will be on hand in person with food samples for a book signing on the lower level of the Bavarian Inn Restaurant from 2-3 p.m., Saturday, September 6 and 13.  

Coincidentally, the book launch ties in perfectly with the restaurant's annual celebration of September as National Chicken Month. In addition to picking up a copy of "From My Kitchen to Yours," Bavarian Inn guests will also have the opportunity throughout the entire month to savor one of the more than 30 delicious chicken dishes, like the Chicken Breast Imperial and Cordon Bleu offered in its main dining room as well as several new offerings in its Michigan on Main Bar and Grill.

According to lore, the first Frankenmuth "All you can eat family-style chicken dinners" were first served at Fischer's Hotel, the precursor of today's Bavarian Inn. Today's chicken is a variation of the dinners first served by Fischer's. Ever the perfectionist, Dorothy's late husband Tiny began experimenting with the recipe, eventually changing from the original pan-fried heavy hens to the lightly breaded, fried smaller birds served today. The success of Tiny's experiment is evidenced in the nearly 350 tons of chicken served each year at the Restaurant.

Anyone interested in ordering "From My Kitchen to Yours," can call 1-800-BAVARIA or 989-652-9941, extension 3332 or order online at http://onlinestore.bavarianinn.com.
