Description:
At rural oyster roasts and barbecues, in fancy Charleston restaurants and renovated townhouses and now on the pages of national magazines, the luxuriant cooking of the Carolina coast, known as the Lowcountry, has made a dramatic reappearance. This is the book that launched that culinary revival. John Martin Taylor, who grew up casting shrimp nets off Hilton Head Island, collected a wealth of traditional and contemporary recipes that represent the region's best, from She-Crab Soup and Sweet Potato Pie to Shrimp and Grits and Sweet Watermelon Pickles. The result is a lyrical American cookbook and a travelogue to a unique way of life.
