Laura Taxel (Author)

Book Description

Series: Cleveland Ethnic Eats | Publication Date: September 2001

This updated and expanded edition of a favorite local food guide now describes 483 authentic ethnic restaurants and markets representing 59 different countries and cultures. These are places recommended by the experts: Cleveland’s ethnic citizens themselves. Laura Taxel found out where they go for a traditional meal; her book shares those delicious discoveries with the rest of us.

The 2002 edition includes 83 new listings and a new All-Ohio directory listing notable ethnic restaurants throughout the state.

Each detailed listing tells what you’ll find when you go to each place, from menu items and specialties to prices, hours, ambiance, attire, and parking.

The book contains several useful indexes, including an Idea Index that suggests places to suit special preferences and needs, such as “Perfect for Parties,” “Cheap Eats,” “Late Night,” and “Take the Kids.”

“Makes tabletop adventuring easy as pie . . . The book is a great resource, full of fascinating tidbits...” -- Scene Magazine

About the Author

Laura Taxel has been writing about food and the people who prepare it for 20 years. Her articles have appeared in The Plain Dealer Sunday Magazine, Chocolatier, Ohio Magazine, Cleveland Magazine, Northern Ohio Live, and other publications. She is the co-author of Blue Ribbon Breads (Hodgson Mills) and the author of three books on health and healing. She can most often be found in an ethnic restaurant, an ethnic market, or in her own kitchen. Taxel is married Barney Taxel, a well-known Cleveland photographer, and they have three sons. Like her, they are all serious eaters, but she is the only one who dines professionally. “It’s a tough job,” Taxel often says, “but somebody’s got to do it.” If she is not in her Cleveland Heights office, Taxel can most likely be found in an ethnic restaurant, an ethnic market, or in her kitchen.

This review is from: Cleveland Ethnic Eats 2002 Edition : A Guide to the Authentic Ethnic Restaurants & Markets of Greater Cleveland (Paperback)

This book is great. I never knew there were this many dining choices in Cleveland. Laura adds just enough detail about each establishment that you can enjoy the history as well. New to this edition is an expansion beyond Cleveland to include other cities in Ohio.
