The perfect gift for Southerners, history lovers, and foodies alike.

Discover the secrets of one of the most mysterious, romantic regions in the South: the Lowcountry. James Beard Cookbook of the Year Award-winning author Joe Dabney produces another gem with this comprehensive celebration of Lowcountry cooking. Packed with history, authoritative folklore, photographs, and fascinating sidebars, Dabney takes readers on a tour of the Coastal Plain, including Charleston, Savannah, and Beaufort, the rice plantations, and the sea islands.

Dabney, author of James Beard Cookbook of the Year Smokehouse Ham, Spoon Bread, and Scuppernong Wine, brings together all the elements that make the South Carolina and Georgia Low Country a distinctive region—the food, history, and cultures. Those familiar with Southern food will find favorites such as grits, Hoppin' John, gumbo, and dumplings. Recipes from famous chefs, like Matt and Ted Lee's Boiled Peanuts, are also featured.

I haven't looked at it yet, but the Amazon comments indicate that this is a cookbook with a bunch of history and anecdotes thrown in.
Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit! (an expression made famous by Paula Deen around that thar Savannah, Georgia way).

What a great find. Thanks for letting us know about it.

Nowadays I pretty much ignore B&N, Kobo, Google Play, iTunes, et al. and just look for Kindle mobi bargains. I would miss out on some great deals, like this one, if not for posts like yours.
