COOKING / MARYLAND / HISTORY
Old Line Plate is an independent research project exploring Maryland’s culinary history through historic cookbooks, archival, and genealogical work. The back-end of this project is a unique database of 80,000 recipes and their associated people, places, and ingredients. The front-end is cooking, community, and connection.
