When I visited Williamsburg a number of years ago, I bought one of these and wanted another for a daughter. The book does not disappoint. The copy I bought, though used, was in great shape and I was happy to pass it to my daughter.

The recipes in this book are phenomenal! I was raised in Williamsburg and worked at Colonial Williamsburg for 16 years. I missed some of the dishes that you will get in the taverns and restaurants. If you've ever experienced the food, this book is for you.

I received this cookbook from my husband in 1976 and the Brunswick Stew on the front cover quickly became my all time favorite. But I gave it away when I became a vegetarian. Recently I tried to make the original recipe from memory for my parents--it flopped. So I bought this used cookbook for my mother's birthday--she and my sister are fighting over it! Brings back fond memories of trips to Williamsburg.

An easy to read and use collection of Virginian recipes associated with the gracious living of colonial times. Every recipe that I have tried, and these are many, is successful both in taste and presentation. Each section of the cookbook presents a little anecdote of one of the historical taverns in Williamsburg. I purchased this book to replace mine, lost in a relocation. Actually, it was like greeting an old friend since I have owned this cookbook since the 1970s.
