A Culinary Tour of Green Mount Cemetery tells the story of Baltimore and its gastronomic history through recipes of people buried at Green Mount Cemetery. Recipes come from descendants of the founders of Baltimore Town, from mayors, suffragettes, librarians, home economists, city planners, housewives, first ladies, poets, bakers, industrialists, philanthropists... and from the most infamous director of the C.I.A.
Buried within the walls of Green Mount are countless people whose lives affect how Baltimoreans live and eat today. This collection peers into a few of their kitchens and examines their legacies, graveside.
