The Colonial Williamsburg Tavern Cookbook Every year, millions of people visit Colonial Williamsburg's re-creation of eighteenth-century America for the ambience, the education, and the unparalleled experience of glimpsing our prerevolutionary past. Williamsburg's fascinating form of time travel encompasses not only the architecture and the artisans, but all the details of our rich cultural heritage, including the food. And The Colonial Williamsburg Tavern Cookbook presents that food, our nation's culinary heritage: from stews and slaws and soups to puddings and pies and pot pies--nearly 200 recipes in all. Focusing on Williamsburg's Southern roots and coastal proximity, the dishes owe their inspiration to the distant past, but their preparations have been tailored for contemporary palates--no need to run out and get some suet in which to cook your mutton over the open hearth. Here are perennial standbys such as Brunswick Stew, Standing Rib Roast with Yorkshire Pudding, Virginia Ham with Brandied Peaches, and Cream of Peanut Soup, as well as Spoon Bread, Lemon Chess Pie, and Mulled Apple Cider. There are also unexpected twists on age-old favorites, such as Oyster Po' Boys with Tarragon Mayonnaise, Oven-Braised Gingered Pot Roast, and Carrot Pudding Spiced with Cardamom. Just as the historic town of Colonial Williamsburg is a singular adventure in understanding our nation's history, so too this cookbook is a unique appreciation of our culinary history. In April 1772, George Washington, writing about one of the taverns in Williamsburg, noted, "Dined at Mrs. Campbells and went to the Play--then to Mrs. Campbells again" --twice in a single week. The hearty fare that George found so enticing is enjoying a profound renaissance, and The Colonial Williamsburg Tavern Cookbook will enable home cooks to relive the great American culinary tradition--the ultimate in comfort food.

Intriguing, full-color photographs by David M. Doody, photographic services manager at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, capture the special appeal of Williamsburg in every season of the year. Focusing on the cycle of the seasons, Doody photographed the glory of springtime blossoms and flowering trees, the agricultural tasks to be accomplished in the heat of a Tidewater summertime, the heightened pace that autumn brings, and the tranquility of soft, white, wintertime snows. Williamsburg: A Seasonal Sampler ends with the excitement of Christmas in the capital of colonial Virginia. The text is by historian Thad W. Tate, who wites that -the seasons of the year, with their many variations in climate and appearance of the landscape, have always played a significant, even indispensable, role in people's lives. For colonial Virginians, the cycle of the seasons continued to shape much in their daily lives -their work, their recreation, and even their conduct of public affairs -around the differing conditions each season imposed. According to Tate, -The striking photographs that are the principal feature of this volume provide evidence that our forebears, too, had developed a keen appreciation of the ever-changing beauty of the seasons.
