Two brothers describe their culinary coming-of-age in Charleston, South Carolina, in a cookbook that features recipes for such dishes as fried chicken, crab cakes, pecan pie, and buttermilk-sweet potato pie, accompanied by helpful hints and substitution tips.
Food writers and proprietors of mail order southern specialty foods, the Lee brothers have created an enormous volume containing a wide variety of southern foods, from old favorites to updated classics. Included are multiple grits recipes, Lee Bros. Shrimp Pate, Frogmore Stew, Green Tomato Fritters, Buttermilk Ice Cream, and of course, Red Velvet Cake. Accompanied by full-color photographs, this is a 2006 Publishers Weekly Book of the Year.
