I love cookbooks that lure me to read them from cover to cover and encourage me to learn about the history of a region, about its ingredients, and about each recipe. The Brothers Lee don't simply teach, they pay homage to centuries of originators who have contributed to the Low Country's unique food culture as it exists today.Every chapter has a colorful introduction, every recipe has a long and descriptive headnote, and there are charming essays ("soup bunches," church tea halls, the influence of Edna Lewis, and more) sprinkled throughout the pages--all rich with the city's food lore and culture. The authors not only laud the originators of each dish--including other restaurants--and the vendors from whom they buy their ingredients, they provide us with "'Downtown Charleston Walking Tour" and "Charleston and Environs Driving Tour" maps, clickable to recipes! --Mary C.
The Lee Brothers are definitely characters who have devoted their lives to cooking in many arenas. Of the three Lee Brothers cookbooks I have, I feel this is by far the best. The Lee Brothers Southern Cookbook is also very good, but I find their Simple Fresh Southern ho-hum. What I like about the Charleston Kitchen so much is the dialogue they include. The recipes I've tried are superb especially Frogmore Soup, Wentworth Street Crab Meat, Low Country Gumbo and Caramel cake. I love cookbooks that have great recipes and are well written with lots of interesting things to convey. I don't think anyone would dislike this book unless they disliked seafood in any shape of form. --William Oreily
Good southern recipes history and anecdotal stories make this a fun book for southern cuisine --Koparcener
