Introducing My New Book!
Cooking Maryland's Way: Voices of a Diverse Cuisine
For more than 60 years, Maryland’s Way: The Hammond-Harwood House Cook Book has delighted readers with over 700 historic recipes drawn from centuries-old manuscripts and Maryland kitchens, selling more than 100,000 copies and becoming a beloved classic.
In this new companion volume, Cooking Maryland’s Way: Voices of a Diverse Cuisine, food historian Joyce M. White brings Maryland’s rich culinary heritage vividly to life. Blending fascinating research with compelling storytelling, she explores the diverse cultural influences—Native American, African American, German, and British—that shaped the state’s cuisine. Through the voices of remarkable individuals, both celebrated and overlooked, this book honors the people, traditions, and flavors that define Maryland’s enduring food story.
A captivating journey into the past, this volume invites readers to discover the history behind the dishes—and the diverse communities who created them.
