Mrs. Knight is a great one for naming dishes after people and places. She has a cake for my Boston neighborhood, Jamaica Plain, and dishes for Boston, Beacon Street (presumably the one in Boston) but also Brookline and other Massachusetts towns, and Baltimore and other points as well.
It is not clearly a contributed cookbook, yet so many recipes are attributed to people that it should be fairly easy -- if the are real people -- to identify Mrs. Knight and locate her.
