If You Love Breakfast

This was bought as a gift for a lady who runs a B & B in the Sierra foothills of California where we were recent guests. She makes lovely breakfasts and I knew she would love the book. As it turned out she was very excited to receive it and felt there were many recipes she could use. I am thinking of purchasing one for myself as well.

One of my favorites

I use recipes from this book over and over again. This ranks right up there with "The Joy of Cooking" in terms of practicality and ease and taste. I've never had one recipe fail, they are all delicious and easy to make. If I go on an out of town trip, I make something from this book to take along for breakfast, for example the oatmeal raisin scones are delicious and easy to take along in a tupperware container tucked in a suitcase. Or if I go camping with friends I'll make some muffins. One time when some friends had a moving party and we met early in the morning, I made "Eggs for a Crowd" and it was a big hit! Great idea for a cookbook, as who knows more about breakfast foods than B & B's?! Plus, they need to have recipes that are original yet easy to make. I highly recommend this book!

Scrumptious! A delicious collection of breakfast ideas.

I love this book! Not only is it full of some wonderful breakfast ideas, but the book is lovely to look at as well. The next best thing to staying at a B & B is having a meal prepared for you from this cookbook.
