Eat, Drink, and Be Merry in Maryland

Frederick Philip Stieff, son of a piano-making Baltimore family, was a celebrated amateur chef and a sort of menu historian. He made a personal crusade of collecting--mainly using handwritten family papers and the memories of aged cooks--old Maryland recipes. Stieff fills out the stories behind many of the recipes in accompanying headnotes. This unusual book was first published in 1932. 50 illustrations.
