You know you’re a foodie when you get excited about a new recipe, TiVo cooking shows, drool over food images, rank top chefs and own a collection of cookbooks that would impress even Julia Child. If this sounds like you, then you don’t want to miss out on the third annual Authors & Inns Tour taking place May 16-17. Eleven participating inns will feature celebrity chefs, restauranteurs, TV personalities and authors who will hold cooking demonstrations, share recipes and autograph their books. At White Lilac Inn, a bed and breakfast in Spring Lake, New Jersey, guests will have the opportunity to catch Hope Fox, author of Impress for Less, prepare apple chicken calvados as part of a private demonstration. The package includes complimentary tour tickets for Sunday and a chance to win a 7-course tasting dinner at a fine New York restaurant or a baked brownie gift set.
Or stay at a B&B where the innkeeper is the star. Guests at The Victoria House Bed and Breakfast in Spring Lake, New Jersey will have the advantage of hearing innkeeper and author Lynne Kaplan discuss her new book, Breakfast, Brunch & More. Lynne will hold a private culinary demonstration on Saturday. On Sunday, guests can take a self-guided tour and watch other culinary experts prepare mouth-watering dishes such as: pea samosas, cocktail hour tomatoes, no-bake peanut butter pie, root beer desserts and pizza. Guests will also receive a keepsake tote bag and a map.
