Summary: Good reading & fun to try the recipes of your favorite Inn..
Review: This book includes both descriptions of the Inns and some of their recipes. Arranged by state, you can turn to your favorite Inn and try one of their recipes. It can be a little difficult to use though if for example your looking for a specific category like pancakes. The pancake recipes are all listed together in the index but you have to switch back and forth a lot to check out the recipes. The recipes range from simple, corkscrew bacon (pg. 344) to different and delicious Danish abelskiver (pg. 361).

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.
