"The Island Plate: 150 Years of Recipes and Food Lore" (Island Heritage, 2006), by Advertiser food editor Wanda A. Adams, delves into our food coverage over the past 150 years with 156 pages of recipes and stories, full-color pictures and an exhaustive index. Although it doesn't include every recipe ever run in The Advertiser, it is designed to show how our foodways have evolved and changed and to answer questions such as "Where did the plate lunch come from?"
