Summary:
"In her first cookbook, a revered former
cook
at
Savannah
's most renowned restaurant divulges her locally famous
Savannah
recipes--many of them never written down before--and those of her family and friends Hundreds of thousands of people have made a trip to dine on the exceptional food cooked by Dora Charles at
Savannah
's most famous restaurant. Now, the woman who was barraged by editors and agents to tell her story invites us into her home to taste the food she loves best. These are the intensely satisfying dishes at the heart of Dora's beloved
Savannah
: Shrimp and Rice; Simple Smoky Okra; Buttermilk Cornbread from her grandmother; and of course, a truly incomparable Fried Chicken. Each dish has a 'secret ingredient' for a burst of flavor: mayonnaise in the biscuits;
Savannah
Seasoning in her Gone to Glory Potato Salad; sugar-glazed bacon in her deviled eggs. All the cornerstones of the
Southern
table are here, from Out-of-This-World Smothered Catfish to desserts like a jaw-dropping Very Red Velvet Cake. With moving dignity, Dora describes her motherless upbringing in
Savannah
, the hard life of her family, whose memories stretched back to slave times, learning to
cook
at age six, and the years she worked at the restaurant. 'Talking About' boxes impart Dora's cooking wisdom, and evocative photos of
Savannah
and the Low Country set the scene."--From publisher.
