Excellent B&B resource & delicious recipes
This huge book is an excellent resource for location a B&B and is packed with over 900 delicious, time-tested recipes. From family favorites to international delights this book as something for everyone.
A vast array of recipes include French toast, pancakes, crepes, eggs, breads, cereals, cookies, cakes, pies, salads, soups, sauces, & beverages. Appetizers, fruits, vegetables, & main dishes are included as well.
Recipes are arranged by state and then by B&B. There is a brief description of each B&B along with contact information and one to four recipes. The index lists recipes both by title & food type making things easy to find.
Some of my favorite recipes include sourdough cinnamon waffles, cheese soda bread & orange fluff beverage. I also enjoyed the green chilies soufflé. My dinner guests loved . chicken casserole & the buttermilk pecan pie.
One of my favorites
While this has hundreds of diverse recipes, representing the foods of the regions of the U.S., one of its strengths is in plenty of recipes that can be prepared the night before. Just think, all these innkeepers who have to serve breakfast don't want to be up before dawn cooking and they pass these recipes for excellent breakfast statas casseroles, etc on to us! Nothing like putting a baking dish in the oven in the morning and breakfast is done! This is a huge, tastefully compiled cookbook.
Great recipes, watch directions
This volume contains a huge variety of useable and interesting breakfast and brunch ideas. Be careful, however, that the directions and ingredients are complete. For instance, one recipe for Cherry Almond muffins omitted any salt for six cups of flour, didn't instruct to combine the wet and dry ingredients, and said that the yield is one dozen when the volume is much greater. I plan to use this book a lot, as so many ideas sound so good.
