I compiled a unique Iowa cookbook filled with recipes using Iowa produced ingredients, and it is, of course, at the top of my gift giving idea list!
I specialize in writing about B&Bs and the bed and breakfast experience. In addition to authoring one guidebook on opening a B&B and co-authoring two others, I'm also a regular contributor to various magazines, and have written on cookbook featuring recipes from Iowa.
