She also introduces us to Virginia itself, a land of history and romance and sharp contrasts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith recipes and historical sketches that are equally tantalizing, this cookbook and restaurant guide celebrates the many-splendored state of Virginia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the beautiful country backroads surrounding Middleburg, the country's foremost fox-hunting region, to Tangier Island, where the native islanders speak a dialect all but incomprehensible to outsiders. From Charlottesvillle, with its lushly green and rolling hills, to cosmopolitan Alexandria, on the outskirts of our nation's capital. Virginia is a state that wears many faces. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis diversity is demonstrated also in the state's historic restaurants. Housed in a wonderful array of old buildings -- including banks, warehouses, stately mansions, ice houses and colonial inns -- these restaurants both preserve the past and delight in the present. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFifty restaurants are presented here. The decor, the cuisine and the history of each are described for us in brief but telling sketches. A pen and ink drawing accompanies each restaurant entry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut this book is not just a traveler's companion. It is a cook's companion and includes more than 150 recipes that can be duplicated in the home kitchen. Each recipe has been carefully edited and tested to ensure good results. Step-by-step instructions enable even the novice to prepare savory dishes from some of the state's finest restaurants. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e---- \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eGood condition.
