Gullah Home Cooking the Daufuskie Way
by Sallie Ann Robinson
Binding: Small paperback (8.9 x 7 x .5 inches) with 170 pages
Type of Cookbook: Regional US/Southern
Photography: Scenic b/w photography of the region, for the most part — only a small amount of food photography
Level of cooking skills required: Basic cooking skills
Contents: Numerous recipes broken down into categories (Salads, The Garden, The River, The Yard, The Woods, Rice Dishes, Quick Meals, and Breads & Sweets) heavily spiced with stories and anecdotes. The recipes are simple and pure. They are not enhanced or updated. The recipes appear to be true to their roots. And, this is refreshing in a time when celebrity chef’s are constantly trying to reinvent the wheel.
My Verdict: This cookbook is a real winner. The combination of authentic recipes, rich history, and heartfelt stories make this cookbook a mandatory for any cookbook collection.
