For years as an innkeeper, guests would ask if I had a cookbook they could buy. For years I said over the winter, I was going to put one together. I never did. But Down East Magazine’s book division approached me and asked if I wanted to write one in April 2010. And November 1, 2010 I submitted my manuscript, photos and all. It was a busy summer! The first Art of Breakfast was published in May 2011.

The 1st edition was sold on Amazon but is now sold out and out of print (which is why we went to a 2nd edition), although you can occasionally find it online or in bookstores throughout the country.
