The Morehead City Sesquicentennial Celebration cookbook, titled
A Little Taste of Heaven Since 1857: The Morehead City Heritage Cookbook, was awarded the national first-place winner of the 19th annual Tabasco Community Cookbook Awards. This national award recognizes the best of thousands of cookbooks published annually to raise money for charitable causes.
Jennifer Allen of the News-Times states, “In the press release announcing the award, it said the ’wonderful photos and illustrations’ only added to the judges unanimous opinion that a book like this is ‘what we yearn for-a true piece of local book-making.’”
