feel honored, and we began receiving calls on Monday morning as a result of the
article."

wonderful compendium of seasonal recipes and food story ideas, selected from
innkeeper responses to our publicity lead. Everything from fiddlehead ferns to
mesquite cooking was featured. We look forward to working with food editors to
highlight your recipes and a variety culinary travel features. If you haven't
yet posted your favorite recipes on BedandBreakfast.com, please log in with

Publicity Leads: Your responses to our publicity leads requesting
information on cooking schools, and the sports and adventure packages were
wonderful! We're using the information in several press releases that will be
sent to newspaper, magazine, Internet site editors and TV producers. Due to the
volume of responses, it's difficult for us to answer each of you, but please
accept our sincere thanks.
