Quintessential MA Cookbook Getting An Update: MA Food Week

MASSACHUSETTS — Welcome to Patch's weekly round up of food and restaurant news in Massachusetts, where we review openings, closings and more in the state's dining scene.

The Woods Hole Historical Museum recently announced it would revive the "Woods Hole Cooks Something Up" cookbook series, first published in the 1970s.

The series has included recipes from Portuguese, Cape Verdean and Native American cuisines in the past, and this year the historical museum is collecting recipe suggestions from locals to include in the 2024 edition.

Beer Store For Sale

In Belmont, the founders of the Craft Beer Cellar and the Trinktisch European Food Hall are selling their businesses. Craft Beer Cellar has grown to 11 franchise locations across the U.S., including as far away as Dallas. Only the Belmont location is up for sale, with founders Suzanne Schalow and Kate Baker saying they will focus on building the bottle shop's brand and "so many more contributions to make in beer."
