FOR A COLONIAL CULINARY TOUR, TRY CHURCH COOKBOOK

WE'VE ALL heard of the Boston Tea Party but did you know about the Edenton Tea Party?

In 1774 the women of Edenton, N.C., signed a proclamation stating they would no longer use British tea. It's said to be the earliest recorded political activity by Colonial women.

Such glimpses of history and early American cuisine make ``Take the Tour for a Taste of Colonial Edenton'' more enlightening than some church cookbooks. Written and edited by the St. Paul's Episcopal Church Women, ``Take the Tour'' (the Wimmer Companies Inc., 1995) combines local history with many elegant but easy recipes.
