The Historic Inns of Spring Lake are hosting their 3rd annual AUTHORS & INNS TOUR on May 16 and 17, 2009.  The tour of 11 inns features cookbooks by a star-studded celebrity list of chefs, restauranteurs and culinary TV/media personalities who will be personally signing and selling their books.
                                 

The White Lilac Inn will play host to Hope Fox, author of popular cookbook 'Impress for Less' and who has a new TV series that debuts June 6 in Philadelphia, New Jersey and Harrisburg to approximately 3.8 million viewers.  Two-Bald-Guys-with-HOPE offers valuable information on 3 kitchen-related topics - healthy food, kitchen design and homemaking tips - in a very enjoyable and entertaining format.
