No one left her table hungry and everyone's appetites
were satisfied. The food she served her
guests began with its growing; most things were homegrown, if not by Nana and
Pampoo then by friends, neighbors, or from the many road side stands near their
home. Fresh was the first ingredient she
required, the second was wholesome, and the third was love.
Her meals were a measure of her love for what she was
doing. From the growing to the picking
and the preparation of the food from her kitchen she paid attention to every
detail. Her philosophy was that whatever
she prepared always carried a measure of her love and that love kept her family
and friends in good health.
Nana’s Kitchen today is a tribute to and in memory of
these very special grandparents, Frances and Kendall Sprague. The food we serve today is always fresh,
prepared with a sense of pride, and, as with Nana a good measure of love.
We live in a much faster paced and busy world than the
one Nana came from. Our philosophy resembles
hers in that we believe taking time and paying attention to every detail are
what makes the food we serve mouthwateringly delicious.
Like a good farm kitchen we present our guests with
simple choices for a simply good, wholesome, and healthy meal. Our specialty is chicken. Nana’s chicken was often fried. Today we oven roast our chicken in a special
prepared batter that reduces the fats of fried food but lets you taste the
flavor of chicken “done right”.
The majority of our food is prepared in ovens; from the
chicken to the Swiss steak and the ham.
Our famous rough smashed potatoes are baked and then mashed with the
skins on in butter and milk. Our
vegetables are fresh and come to the table with no processing other than
cooking. All of the food that we prepare
is like Nana’s home cooking and served fresh each day.
Our famous deserts may push the limits of healthy
eating but they are delicious beyond compare.
Nana’s fresh peach, apple, and cherry pies are made from her
recipes. Her red cake was renowned among
her family and friends and we make ours from her time honored and proven
recipe.
After you finish your meal and are heading out you
might like to purchase a dozen of her toll house cookies to take with you so
the memory of dinner from Nana’s Kitchen continues on into your home.
Bon Jour and Bon Appétit
