Three years in the research and planning, a new cookbook is now an accomplished fact! This is no ordinary cookbook as it contains pages of entertaining ideas, including table settings, buffets, glassware, flowers, linens, and a chapter on the history and serving of tea. Most of the recipes, and there are many, include a short history of the origin of the recipe.

This cookbook earns its title �An Entertaining Cookbook� as some have said it stays by the bed as good bedtime reading and may require a membership in a weight loss program.

A special gift for any occasion, the book can be purchased at Society Headquarters gift shop for $22 at 143 North Main St, Bel Air, MD. All proceeds to benefit the Historical Society�s ongoing need for building and archival preservation and maintenance.
