Food is on our minds today, of course, so as we prepare to give
thanks and share Thanksgiving feasts across the country, here is a travel/cookbook combo to suggest for when you get
hungry again. The Taste of History series are guides to over 100 restaurants in each of the states they have
covered. Most of the places mentioned are eateries housed in historic buildings like old train stations, churches,
schools and even jails. In addition to historical background, there are several recipes for each entry. The latest
title in this series by Debbie Nunley and Karen Jane Elliott is
A Taste of Maryland History: A Guide to Historic
Eateries. Other titles include guides to Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
