This cookbook has everything you need to get started cooking at a bed and breakfast, but will help the reader to offer more meal variety in your own home. If you stay with Maria, you will want to recreate some of her favorites in your own home. The Alaska Pancake is a fan favorite! This book has basic recipes for casseroles and dishes along with the much loved side dishes and jams/jellies. Enjoy the wonderful pictures of scenery from Homer as well as various wildlife photos - many of which are taken by guest who went out on the water with Tim. Maria generously shows you her life in Alaska - and you will quickly see her emphasize how to put the "special touch" into the service and delivery, all the while - offering local knowledge and direction, so that after breakfast, you can go have the most outstanding day possible.
