Reunions Gift Shop will host Alexandria author Howie Southworth Saturday, Dec. 6 as he signs copies and chats with customers about his book "A Taste of Alexandria."
Reunions is located at 1709 Centre Plaza off of Quaker Lane. Howie will be signing books and meeting with food-lovers from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday.
The 200-page hardback is a perfect gift for the holidays.
Published by Alexandria Living Magazine in partnership with Southworth, it explores the restaurants, chefs and menus of Alexandria's restaurants.
The book features dozens of recipes adapted from restaurants in Old Town, Del Ray and the West End. This is the sixth book Southworth has authored and is uniquely focused on the city.
It contains more than 50 recipes from the city's standout restaurants, each morsel with some connection to Alexandria's past. Be it an ingredient, a technique or a straight-up throwback, every dish has a rich story to tell.
Since the heyday of Alexandria's international port, settlers, visitors and transplants have cooked up a global tableau of culinary pleasures — a legacy that is celebrated by contemporary chefs, often where you'd least expect.
This is a great gift for your favorite foodie, a client, or yourself!
This book isn't just a collection of recipes — it's a celebration of Alexandria's incredible culinary scene packed with stories and photos you won't see anywhere else.
