We are including three recipes from famous taverns at Colonial Wil1iamsburg, Va., submitted to Neighbor's Kitchen from our neighbors in the south. As in the past, those who have submitted recipes to our weekly feature have received special recognition in their community. Mrs. William M. Justice, 17H Garden Dr., called recently to say that she first had special attention from her postman a few days after her picture was published last January. She also mention:: d that she was still receiving calls from those who had clipped her recipe for future use and others who had used it and liked it. We trust that the use of this book will bring recognition as "Good Cooks" to all. Yours for a Christmas of good feasting and a New Year of health and happiness.
