From a list of over 200 dining establishments in Ohio, Debbie Nunley and Karen Jane Elliott have selected approximately 100 restaurants for the second volume of the popular A Taste of History TM series. The authors focus on restaurants of significant historical interest. Some of these are inns, taverns, and roadside hostelries that have been in business for many years at the same site. Others -- former doctor's offices, mills, firehouses, and barns -- have been converted from other uses but still retain their original flavor.In addition to capturing the historical ambience for the reader, this guidebook serves as a cookbook. Each entry includes two or three recipes from the featured restaurant, so readers can reproduce their favorite dishes. There is something here to suit everyone, whether their taste runs to haute cuisine or simple country fare.
FABULOUS book in every way! The information, the artwork, the recipes - a wonderful book both for yourself and as a gift item! A definate must have! Debbie Nunley and Karen Elliott have definately done their research, paving the way for the rest of us to find these gems of history much easier. Thank you both very much, ladies! Now to try and visit each and every single one of those places as a fun excursion................there's so much to discover and enjoy!
Loved it!

This book was very interesting from a historical standpoint, with an added bonus of interesting recipes. I haven't tried any yet, but am looking forward to it.
Essential addition to every OH kitchen!

Having loved "A Taste of Pennslyvania History", I was so excited to get this book. Taste of Ohio History is just as wonderful as the authors' first book. Plan on getting every book in the series--I look forward to all 50 books (just ordered Virginia and anxiously await Maryland). The writing is wonderful and the descriptions of the restaurants and the recipes are such a great addition to my kitchen bookshelf.
