feature_historical_chesapeake_cookbooks_dec09Great reviews, and generous. One correction in the review of Mrs. Kitching’s Smith Island Cookbook: her Smith Island Ten-Layer Cake is the original recipe, created before my eyes (and I am the book’s author) in her kitchen before she died, and subsequently published for the book’s 25th anniversary. Mrs. Kitching’s Smith Island Ten-Layer Cake is now included in all copies of the cookbook. 2010 marks the book’s 30th year in print.
