Great, delicious recipes - easy to follow
The book is laid out beautifully...recipes are easy to understand, very detailed and delicious.I really enjoy reading about the B&B's that have shared their favorite recipes.

This is the best cookbook ever.I also have volume 1.
I got vol 1 many years ago and always wanted vol 2.The recipes are all wonderful, but then you use great ingredients too!

Outstanding Product
This book was marked used, but arrived in perfect condition.This is an amazing cookbook.

Perfect Recipes!
America's Best Bed & Breakfast Recipes
I selected this book thinking that Bed and Breakfast establishments would offer great recipes that were somewhat less complicated than normal.I wasn't disappointed.
I opened the book and leafed through a few pages.My eyes stopped at Country Italian Sausage Pie.It was exactly as promised.I served it at a luncheon last week to rave reviews.
I would strongly recommend the book.

It's my 'go to' cookbook of choice!
I can't you how many times I've gone to my copy of this cookbook for recipes... it's the one I reach for first! It's like taking a trip around the country without leaving my home! VERY user friendly format, too!

I love the small-sized recipes that many of the B&B's and Inns use... hubby and I are 'empty nesters' most of the year with our sons away at college so there's no need to make big meals or we'd be eating leftovers forever. ... Read more

Bed and Breakfast Cookbook
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?

B&B cooking at home! This cookbook rocks!
I received a paperback version of this cookbook as a gift, wore it out, and had to replace it with a hard cover edition.

The cookbook compiles recipes from Bed and Breakfast kitchens around the country.Wonderful recipes in every category, but especially for brunch.Endless options for muffins, quiche, breakfast casserole and sweet breads.I use this cookbook to make Christmas brunch every year, mixing new dishes with repeat appearances - Cinnamon rolls, Chocolate chip banana muffins, Ash Mill Farm quiche (bacon and swiss, w/ nutmeg).

Use bookmarks or mark the index to find favorites again, since the book is organized alphabetically by state, then by B&B proprietor.It is an unusual, but workable approach.If you enjoy one of a proprietor's recipes, then chances are the others will be good, too.

In the past, I've used this book to find B&Bs to stay.That was fun and worked well, but since the book was published in 1987, a good number have changed hands, etc.If you want to do this, get one of the Maynard's newer books.

This cookbook is still one of my favorites! I highly recommend it, and even years later I am still discovering and enjoying new recipes.

Great Cookbook!
I really like this cookbook!I truly value recipes that people actually use, and this cookbook is full of recipes that Bed and Breakfasts have used for years.Great book if you can find a copy!!

Countrywide Bed and Breakfast Reference and Great Cookbook In One
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

B&B Cookbook
This is a great cookbook.I own many, many cookbooks and can always count on finding a wonderful recipe in this book.I actually bought it as a gift because I already own volumes I and II.It is also fun to read about the various B&B's around the country.One minor issue--when you find a recipe you love, you need to remember the name or mark it because the recipes are listed by name and are sometimes difficult to find.For instance, I made some cheese blintzes and couldn't find them the next time I wanted to make them because they are listed under "Eva's Cheese Blintzes".I didn't occur to me to look under "E".I find this somewhat illogical.However, I highly recommend this book!Every recipe I have tried has been marvelous! ...

Great little weekend planner
Pick a city, read about it's history, and spend an afternoon or a day visiting new places.Delightful!

Great into to the Hill Country of Texas
We're moving near to the Hill Country soon and were looking for more info and places to go once we get there.This is a great introduction to the food and wines of the region and those out of the way places you only hear about.We'll definitely use this as a reference for our travels.

Central Texas
This is a beautiful book.Well written and well photographed.It captures the Texas Hill Country.A must for anyone wanting to visit, owning a B&B in Central Texas, or anyone homesick for this gorgeous country.Not only do you get great narrative and super pictures, you also get some delicious looking recipes.

definitely a keeper
I received a signed copy of this from the author at a wine and food festival in Florence, Texas. It's been a wonderful resource for great ideas on places for wino/foodies like my husband and I to visit in Hill Country... we've used it several times on our day and weekend trips out to the Hill Country. I wish there were more books like it for other regions/states...

Wonderful guide for the Hill Country
My husband and I love to get away to the Hill Country as often as we can.This wonderful book has given us ideas of new places to explore and new restaurants to try.We recently went with friends to the Hill Top Cafe near Fredericksburg, based on what we had read in the book.What a fantastic evening we had!Can't wait to try out more of the great restaurants (and recipes) found in the book.The photographs are stunning and make you feel you are right there.This book will make a great gift for all our friends! ...

Product Description
Once they dotted the landscape like McDonald's and BurgerKing. Every town big enough to have a stop sign (and some that didn't)boasted of one or more meat-and-three restaurants that featuredcountry food and plenty of it. When the lunch whistle blew, everyonefrom lawyers and laborers to tourists and truck drivers stopped whatthey were doing and headed to the local establishment. These days,these country cafes and backroad buffets are as endangered as oldbarns, the victims of fast-food restaurants and frantic workschedules.

But thanks to this new guidebook covering the states of the DeepSouth, you can now find your way to over 200 of these gems. To addeven more flavor, well-known Southerners such as John Berendt, RoyBlount, James Lee Burke, Jan Karon, Larry Brown, Willie Morris, andLee Smith describe some of their favorite backroad eateries. ...

What a delight!
I have used this book extensively in my travels throughout the South. In fact, I have planned some of my trips so that I can sample the delicious food found at the country cafes recommended by the author. My only complaint would be that the author has not come forth with a second book; I have some nominees for him!

A funny, useful and sometimes surprising gastronomic tour.
As is typical of his work, Don O'Briant has filled his latest book with humor, insight, creativity and accurate information.He's a well-known Atlanta journalist and has a reporter's discerning eye.But he's also aphilosopher and a warm and sympathetic observer of the human condition. Gratefully, his restaurant reviews aren't like other people's.You feellike you're really there and can experience for yourself the people, smellsand sights he describes.The inclusion of comments by notable Southernorsis an original and effective device.You can tell that he is adown-to-earth (but incredibly observant) person who genuinely likes theplaces he went and the people he met.And, best of all, he's a great judgeof food.Zagat, take notice! I recommend the book highly. ... Read more

Product Description
In marked contrast to the United States, with its territorial stability, some countries, such as Bulgaria and Ethiopia, reorganize their regional subdivisions frequently. This immense, large-format reference work simplifies the comparison of decades' worth of data from such countries. With this book in hand, one can answer any administrative subdivision question about any state or province in the world from 1900 through 1998. For each country there is at least one table, and usually several. Histories of subdivision changes and lists of alternate names for subdivisions in each country add to the work's research value. All relevant national and international standards such as ISO and FIPS codes are listed, as well as time zones, populations, areas and capitals for each subdivision. There are summary tables for international comparisons of population density, land area and other points of interest, and a comprehensive index of names. ... Read more
