No old school Bawlmer kitchen will be complete without this cookbook collector’s dream. It’s a journey with stops at Marconi’s, Angelina’s, the Belvedere Hotel, and many other landmarks from our region’s great gastronomic past.
This book of Baltimore restaurants and their recipes is perfect for the cook who wants to capture Free State flavors of yesteryear, and serve them up on the dining room table. Readers will find classics such as Maryland crab cakes and Oysters Chesapeake followed by treasures like Haussner’s strawberry pie. This tour of bygone days in “the land of pleasant living†will leave you hungry for Crab Imperial, or dreaming of some special night in Louie’s Bookstore and Cafe, the Old Pimlico Hotel, or Baltimore’s Little Italy.
