Cross; Rhode Island Clamba.- y
by Christopher La Fargo; Yankee

gem indeed for the collector of
culinary Americana. 1t is more than
just a cookbook-it is an anthology
OF New England recipes, and offers
besides a remarkable insight into
the history of that part of the coun-
try and much that has gone into the
building of it.
