Review
"Before it was a museum, the Baum-Longworth-Taft House was a home where families of substance lived, dined and entertained. So it is only fitting that the Taft Museum of Art publish a cookbook....
From informal outdoor teas, to Venetian balls, to receptions for royalty the Taft was the scene for much entertaining.
The cookbook, two years in the making, is divided into menus, inspired by the museum's galleries and artworks, that range from the simple to the extravagant. Each section is preceded by a short essay about the Taft home and its families. Vintage pictures are scattered throughout, as are color photos of artwork from the Taft's collection." -- The Cincinnati Post, December 4, 1999
