Terri BaileyThe Bailey House Kitchen is always a welcoming place.  Our family, friends and resort guests often stop by for a cup of coffee, and to chat about their latest adventures on and off of the mountain. Seasonally catching up with everyone, and seeing my extended family, is a favorite part of what I do here.


My Heritage Cook Book is coming along slowly.  Just sorting the cards and books is a job in itself.  I have been very fortunate to have been passed a treasury of recipes from the past, and I can get lost for hours just reading through this wonderful legacy.  

Our website home page reflects our past here at the resort, and my recipe page reflects the foods of those bygone days as well.   As I sort and organize these little gems, I realize that I hold treasures bequeathed to me from the women who made it all possible so long ago.  I especially love the captions and pencil notes on the side, such as “ Add a pinch more cinnamon” or “ Potluck favorite.”


I can imagine baking a pie in a wood-burning oven to take to the Del Mar Fair in a horse drawn wagon down the Nate Harrison Grade.  Wow!  These were a dedicated group of ladies!


Mary BaileyMary Bailey (the first Mrs. Bailey here) did this several times in the 1890s and once won the blue ribbon for her rhubarb pie.  What a gal!  Her century old, spring-fed berry patch is still thriving, and I too harvest it for my jams today.


The worn and faded recipe cards are my guiding stars for the recipe pages, and I’ll keep you posted on how the project is progressing.  


Thank you all for making our place so special!
