Summary: Very Nice Recipes
Comment: However, I find many of these recipes to be too much bother or too fancy to mess with when cooking for two kids. I'm afraid I just prefer plain, easy stove to table cooking and this book was not what I was looking for.

Gorgeous pictures and good directions as well. Everything I have tried has turned out well.

Summary: Marvelous Buy!
Comment: This is a high quality paperback, 8x11, glossy paper and beautiful photographs. The book is recipe oriented with a bio and sometimes a picture of the B&B where the recipe originated.

For those of you who like brunch entertaining, this is a treasure trove. I confess brunch is my absolute favorite way of entertaining guests for all the usual reasons. It is easy to assemble, relaxed and not much work. Oh yes, did I say "not much work?"

The recipes are not for the calorie counters nor cholesterol impaired. This is not a drawback, as planning a brunch menu can always include some items for all appetites.

A simple recipe that was much praised is from the Big Horn Mountain B&B, Big Horn, WY (edited - serves 4, but no problem doubling or tripling) Creamy Scrambled Eggs

8 eggs, ½ Cup milk, 2T butter, 8 oz. cream cheese cut in ½" cubes, 1T fresh chives, 1t chopped fresh parsley

Melt butter in lightly oiled skillet. Beat together everything except cheese and parsley. Cook over very low flame (cooking process should take 30 minutes average). When eggs begin to set, run a spatula carefully underneath, letting uncooked mixture flow to the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle cream cheese pieces and continue cooking. By the time the eggs are set, the cheese will be melted. Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.

Ms. Murphy is faithful about listing B&Bs from all 50 states. However, as B&Bs go in and out of business with alarming rapidity, I would check carefully before setting off for the one of your finest imaginings. Ms. Murphy's own B&B in Rhode Island sounds like the one of your dreams, fresh flowers and all!

Summary: Paperback is nice
Comment: I bought the paperback, surprised by the low price, and was pleased that it's large (8 1/2 x 11) and full of color pictures of both the food and the B&B rooms: it must be just like the hardback except for the cover. A great value, even if nutrition data (calories, fat, etc.) are not included and it's slightly dated (1991). Can't wait to try the recipes - they look great.
