A Taste of Maryland History A Guide To Historic Eateries And Their Recipes Taste of History
Continuing their popular Taste of History series, Nunley and Elliott feature over 75 restaurants in this combination travel guide/cookbook. The book highlights restaurants located in buildings of historic interest, many of which are more than 100 years old. Old train stations; historic hotels, homes, and vacation retreats; as well as sites along the National Road are examples of some of the locales that are featured. In addition to historical background and anecdotal information, there are two or three recipes chosen by the restaurant’s chef given for each entry. The book’s recipe selection is evidence that there’s so much more than crab in Maryland.

4 Stars Good NC Cookbook
Lots of good NC Restaurants are here. Book is a little dated, but still has great recipes. Just wish it was spiral binded. The crabcake recipe is wonderful. A must for the southern cook!
4 Stars Great housewarming gift for newcomers!
I have given this book to lots of friends. There is a pen-and-ink drawing and a brief history of each restaurant featured in the book. Each restaurant has submitted several recipes. Most of the restaurants featured are the top restaurants in the state. The author has also written other books for states throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. If you are a realtor, this would make a perfect housewarming gift for your clients who are new to the area!
