cookbook « Robin Writes

Boonville, Missouri B&B owner Kriss Royer has created a very wonderful cookbook – these are all recipes she’s served to her own guests at the High Street Victorian. Based on their reviews, Kriss is certainly doing something right:

“The food was top notch…”

“…incredible homemade brownies, breakfast, and cinnamon rolls…”

“Breakfast was amazing with Kriss’ signature pineapple boat and a delicious Tiramisu French Toast.”

“…the breakfast was to die for…”

“What followed can only be described as an 8th wonder… this breakfast was better than any breakfast I’ve EVER had! My husband and I stayed in a hotel in Paris that had topped my list of amazing presentations of food.”

“All I can say about the breakfast meal is…WOW. Normally, I don’t eat much in the morning, but I couldn’t help myself with this delicious meal.”

These are just some of the reviews out there – I could go on and on, but I also want to tell you that these are NOT difficult recipes. Most of the ingredients you’ll probably already have on hand, and it takes less time than you’d think to prepare them in your own kitchen.

In fact, on Monday I made the Chocolate Pancakes with Strawberry Sauce – after reading this cookbook over and over and seeing Gene Royer’s fantastic photos, I had to take the plunge. It was totally worth it! I should probably add that, since I had no strawberries, I substituted a mixed berry blend for the sauce. Yum!

You can get your own copy of INNspiring Breakfasts at the RHP store, in local bookstores, online via Amazon – there’s even a Kindle version – or you can stop in at Parable Books in Columbia, Missouri on Saturday, June 1, and meet Kriss too!

As you know, if you haven’t been living under a rock and/or if you follow my blog at all, RHP has a new book coming out in a couple weeks – INNspiring Breakfasts! It’s awesome, it’s amazing, and you can pre-order it NOW. Trust me, it’s worth it! And, next Wednesday, you’ll be hearing from Kriss Royer herself – you can get all the inside info on running a B&B and publishing a cookbook!

In the meantime, you can still order, direct from us because hey, it’s DIRECT FROM US, our fantastic children’s book, DEBBIE; our steamy romance, SEVEN DIRTY WORDS; and adult dystopian fiction, REDUCED and REUSED.

Kids from age five and up will love DEBBIE, and maybe, just maybe, she’ll soon have her very own blog (hint, hint, Conny!). And SEVEN DIRTY WORDS has been said to be a “great beach read.” Plus, look for FOUR LETTER WORDS early next year – so now you HAVE to get SDW, no excuses!

(Is it weird that I just talked about a children’s book and a hot romance in the same paragraph? Yes, yes it is. Hmmm.)

REDUCED and REUSED are for grown-ups too – but not “adult” as in “adult,” ya know? But our characters are all, oh, nearly 30 years old or (gasp) even in their forties… Why should teenagers get to have all the fun with guns and things when the world implodes?

So, make a list, click “buy,” and check it twice: you’ll be able to put breakfast in the oven, read to the kids, send them out to play and pick up a good book to read for yourself, whether it’s romance or sci-fi. Or both.

Read, read, read!
