They will also discuss blogs about the history of cooking, digital collections of historic cookbooks, and other online resources. Whether you are searching for that elusive recipe or you’re just interested in local history, the State Library Resource Center will help you savor Maryland’s culinary past. This event is appropriate for all ages, and no registration is required.
