Justly famous for its colonial history and southern charm, Williamsburg, Virginia, reveals a newly contemporary, sophisticated face that it is eager to show the world. Amid exquisitely preserved 18th-century buildings is a modern and thriving city boasting unique cultural, culinary and recreational riches.

A gracious 21st-century Williamsburg is featured in Williamsburg Today: A Year of Culinary Celebrations,which offers a month-by-month cook’s tour through a Williamsburg year.

Its highlights include:

• Cover by artist Connie Desaulniers, whose whimsical acrylic paintings are in collections throughout the country
  
• Themed menus from local chefs and over 250 double-tested recipes from town contributors
  
• A focus on festive parties and celebrations typifying all aspects of the Williamsburg lifestyle
  
• Food and wine pairings that can enhance special events and activities unique to our community, such as An Occasion for the Arts, film festivals at the Kimball Theatre, Symphonia concerts, summer jazz festivals in Merchants Square, Grand Illumination, First Night’s New Year’s Eve celebration of the performing arts and many others.

A popular item, the book is almost sold out! The few copies remaining can be purchased at Seasons of Williamsburg Flowers & Gifts, 1308 Jamestown Road, or at the League's Boutique in the lobby of the Kimball Theatre on concert performance dates.
