Description
Montgomery County’s history can be told through its dining tables, from Native American husbandry, Quaker thrift, and innovation, enslaved communities finding power and comfort in food, and particularly through the work of two local cookbook authors–Elizabeth Ellicott Lea and Maria Brooke Watkins–whose books reflect the county’s changing economy and lives. All these stories are told in the new book “A Culinary History of Montgomery County, Maryland” by Claudia Kousoulas and Ellen Letourneau.
