Culinary Suite
WCDH is privileged to be in partnership with Renovation Style magazine, KitchenAid, Weber and all those who helped us complete the Renovation Style Culinary Suite as a resource for culinary writers. We strongly support culinary writing as a legitimate literary genre and have the state-of-the-art facility to offer culinary writers from around the world. Check out their recipes. The staff delights in being "official" tasters.
In addition to our culinary fellowship sponsors, we also feature product partners who have donated goods to the Colony for our resident writers use. We encourage you to try their products and see why the Colony has chosen to make them part of the WCDH experience. These include:

Thanks to the leadership and tenacity of Ann Maine, former editor-in-chief of Renovation Style magazine, now editor-in-chief of Traditional Home magazine along with the incredible design work of Deborah Krasner, the initial and ongoing enthusiasm of KitchenAid and Weber-Stephens, and the generous product donations of the companies and individuals listed below, the Writers' Colony at Dairy Hollow is now the only colony in the world to recognize culinary writing (both fiction and non-fiction) as a legitimate literary genre...and the only colony to provide a dream facility to work in.
