From pecan coffeecake to crispy crabcakes to a decadent, grown-up version of S'mores, The Rusty Parrot Cookbook contains over 90 sumptuous recipes from the award-winning hotel's intimate Wild Sage dining room. Published by Gibbs Smith Publisher, the 224-page, 9- by 12-inch coffee table book by Darla Worden and Eliza Cross features hundreds of beautiful images shot by Jackson photographer David Swift, detailed recipes by Executive Chef Jeffrey Blackwell, wine pairing recommendations and tasting notes from sommelier William Lucius, history and lore about the Jackson Hole area, plus sidebars about the Rusty Parrot's trademark brand of Western hospitality.
A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the Rusty Parrot Lodge and Spa was built in 1990 by owner Ron Harrison, who envisioned a different type of lodge near the shopping, art galleries and restaurants of Jackson’s Town Square. Since its inception, the lodge has been recognized with many prestigious awards with regular placements on the Conde Nast Traveler Gold List and Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards--including being rated number one hotel in the Continental U.S. and Canada by readers in 2005. The Rusty Parrot has been featured in media from NBC's “The Today Show” to USA Today and The New York Times. Both the Rusty Parrot and its Wild Sage restaurant continue to receive the prestigious AAA Four Diamond Award, and the Wild Sage has been featured on The Food Network, The New York Times and Elle Decor, and was recently named a Top Mountain Restaurant in Mountain Living magazine.
