Cook Books

A must have for any baker, I have tested every recipe many times, they are all staples in my kitchen! Need a perfect scone recipe? Look no further, it is in this book.

If I could only own one cook book, it would be this one. There are over 1,000 recipes that have each been tested and perfected in the Cook's Illustrated test kitchen. The title makes quite a claim, but I think the book more than lives up to it. 

This is a heart warming account of one traveler's experience staying at an Inn in the south of France, and his insight into the daily life of it's Innkeepers. A must read for anyone in the hospitality industry. There are recipes that accompany the book, but it's true value lies in the story.

 Design & Decor

From B&Bs to luxurious resorts, this is an inspiring collection of accommodations from all over the world.

 Get an inside look into modern restaurant design & branding. This is a great coffee table book to share with your guests!

 Remodelista is my favorite design blog. Whenever I need to find something for my home (big or small), or design a space (inside and out), I reference Remodelista first!

One of my favorite parts about being an Innkeeper is making flower arrangements. It is a meditative task that allows me to take a moment to create something beautiful that I know my guests will enjoy.
