The best crowd-pleasing recipes from widely acclaimed country inns and bed & breakfasts in the United States are collected in this unique cookbook and travel guide. More than 340 inns and 1,500 recipes are collected here, some from the finest chefs in America, while others represent the best in mouth-watering homestyle cooking.
More than a cookbook, "Best Recipes from American Country Inns and Bed & Breakfasts" is organized alphabetically - state-by-state. It is a reliable guide to the inns themselves, including addresses, phone numbers, and a listing of activities available at each inn. There are two extensive indexes. One allows you to find the inns by city and state, and the other allows the reader to find any recipe or type of recipe quickly and easily.
Kitty and Lucian Maynard have written two similar books, "The American Country Inn and Bed & Breakfast Cookbook," Vol. I and Vol. II. These have been selections of Book-of-the-Month Club, the Better Homes and Gardens Book Club, and Family Bookshelf. The first book was featured on the back of Just Right cereal boxes. Reviews rave about the excellent, tasty recipes:

"Chock full of mouthwatering recipes . . . a grand selection of entrees." - Levittown (Pennsylvania) "Courier-Times"
