This lay-flat spiral-bound gem houses 158 all-new recipes from 114 of the Association’s inns and it’s hot off the press.  If you’re expecting spreads of just breakfast goodies, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover the innkeepers divulged recipes for sides, soups, salads, appetizers, entrees and desserts.  One chapter is devoted to the collection of 2008 Wisconsin B&B Association Innkeeper Cook-off entries, all of which have a common ingredient – Wisconsin’s #1 crop, the cranberry.  Of course, breakfast is not slighted in the least, with innkeepers sharing their most-requested recipes for breads, muffins, coffee cakes, pastries, pancakes, waffles, French toasts, egg dishes and breakfast entrées. You can purchase by clicking this link or by calling 715-539-9222.  It’s $21.95.
