Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The Maynards, who are caterers, have collected in this encyclopedic volume recipes from a dizzying number of inns and bread-and-breakfasts located throughout the United States. Brief paragraphs describe each establishment and its amenities. From a culinary viewpoint, this is, unfortunately, a rather grim recounting of every can of cream-of-mushroom soup, cream cheese-and-pimento loaf and mayonnaise-saturated creation inspired by the convenience food-crazed '60s. Some of the more insipid stomach-turners being plunked down before B & B guests include coconut coffee cake (which calls for a box of yellow cake mix, shredded coconut, crushed pineapple and a can of condensed cheddar-cheese soup) and Manhattan clam-chowder eggs (add canned, condensed Manhattan clam chowder to beaten eggs and scramble). Some serious recipes, made with real food, fare better. Muffins, fruit breads and coffee cakes receive considerable attention. Better Homes and Gardens Book Club, BOMC, Christian Herald Family Bookshelf and QPBC selections.

Excellent source for that "special" occasion recipe,
By A Customer
This review is from: The American Country Inn and Bed & Breakfast Cookbook, Volume I: More than 1,700 crowd-pleasing recipes from 500 American Inns (American Country Inn & Bed & Breakfast Cookbook) (Hardcover)
We absolutely love this cookbook. It is our first choice when we are looking for that special recipe for a special occasion - or just for everyday! Variety is excellent - breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, dessert - it's all there. Can't wait to get Volume 2

This review refers to "The American Country Inn and Bed & Breakfast Cookbook"(vol 1) by Kitty and Lucian Maynard....
St Chuck Poolside Jambalaya to North Carolina Applsauce Muffins, Aunt Ruth's Baked Eggs and Cheese to Dorothy's Chocolate Zucchini Cake, Guacamole to Lobster Pie to Salt Lake City Taffy, you'll find the biggest and best collection of regional homestyle cooking from all over this great food lovin country in this fabulous cookbook! Whatever type of fare you have in mind you'll find something good in these pages. The Manyard's have done all the work. State to State(including Alaska and Hawaii) they have found us some great recipes from Country Inns and Bed and Breakfast's from all over the country. With more than 1700 homestyle recipes you really get your money's worth. You can go state to state(without leaving home) and try something new and different, or find some of your old favorites that you've been longing for. There are two indexes to check through. You can check by city, or by food. For a good look at what's inside, the book, click on the 'Look Inside" link to several pages to browse through.The recipes range from meals as simple as Biscuits and Eggs to the more exotic tastes like Veal Scallops with Gorgonzola Sauce. You'll find several different ways of making the most everyday things, like French Toast, depending on what State or Regional taste you're in the mood for that day! There's an additional perk to this cookbook as well. If you want to get out of your own kitchen and do a little traveling, you will find a little description as well as the addresses and phone numbers for all the Inn's used here, on the pages with their own recipes.In some cases there are nice little sketches of the lodgings as well. I use this cookbook more than any other in my kitchen. My copy is stained and sticky with the remnants of some terrific recipes(some of my favorite pages are in worse shape than others!). Everytime I look through it for a new idea I find one. I love it! You will too. So have fun, eat hardy and try to get someone else to do the dishes.....enjoy...Laurie

This review is from: The American Country Inn and Bed & Breakfast Cookbook, Volume I: More than 1,700 crowd-pleasing recipes from 500 American Inns (American Country Inn & Bed & Breakfast Cookbook) (Hardcover)
I AM AN AVID COOKBOOK READER AND I LOVE MAKING RECIPES FROM THE BOOKS THAT I READ. THIS BOOK AND IT'S COMPANION VOLUME II ARE WONDERFUL. SOME RECIPES I HAVE READ CALL FOR INGREDIENTS THAT ARE HARD TO FIND, ESPECIALLY IN A SMALL TOWN SUCH THAT I LIVE IN, BUT THESE ARE GREAT. I HAVE EVEN CALLED A PARTICULAR INN FOR CLARIFICATION ON A RECIPE AND HAVE BEEN MET WITH GREAT RESPONSE TO MY QUESTION/QUESTIONS. TELL ME WHEN YOU CAN DO THAT WITH ANY OTHER COOKBOOK?
