4.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Taste of Historic Florida, June 20, 2000

This review is from: Florida's Hisoric Restaurants (Historic Restaurants Cookbook) (Hardcover)

I have spent many, many of my childhood summers in Florida. Florida's Historic Restaurants is a wonderful taste of the south. In addition, each restaurant has a description of it's history that is captivating. The description provides far more information than an average restaurant review in a newspaper or advertisement. No book of historic Florida restaurants would have any validity without the inclusion of The Columbia, Florida's oldest restaraunt. The Snapper Alicante is delicious. And everyone should try the Nicholson Farmhouse Restaraunt recipe for boiled peanuts for a taste of the old south that should not be missed. Many of the recipes are based around fish and vegetables that are particularly plentiful in Florida such as snapper, grouper and okra. I enjoyed the book because it really reflects Florida cooking and with supermarkets stocked so well I can cook the recipes no matter where I live.
