Product Description
"If there's one thing we learned coming up on Daufuskie," remembers Sallie Ann Robinson, "it's the importance of good, home-cooked food." In this enchanting book, Robinson presents the delicious, robust dishes of her native Sea Islands and offers readers a taste of the unique, West African-influenced Gullah culture still found there.

Living on a South Carolina island accessible only by boat, Daufuskie folk have traditionally relied on the bounty of fresh ingredients found on the land and in the waters that surround them. The one hundred home-style dishes presented here include salads and side dishes, seafood, meat and game, rice, quick meals, breads, and desserts. Gregory Wrenn Smith's photographs evoke the sights and tastes of Daufuskie.

"Here are my family's recipes," writes Robinson, weaving warm memories of the people who made and loved these dishes and clear instructions for preparing them. She invites readers to share in the joys of Gullah home cooking the Daufuskie way, to make her family's recipes their own. ... Read more

Great on stories short on cookin
This book is long on stories and short on seasoned cooking.Most are bland.Good history though.

Good "Lowcountry Cooking"
This is a wonderful cookbook if you want to learn how to prepare what some South Carolinians call "Lowcountry" fare.I made the Fried Crab Rice on a couple of occasions, for my family and my co-workers and for both groups it was a hit!In Charleston, SC one dish that is hot on the restaurants' menu is Shrimp and gravy, well Sally teaches you how to make this dish.The best thing about this cookbook - the recipes are easy to prepare.I really enjoy the Author's entertaining comments about growing up on Daufuskie Island, which is off the coast of South Carolina.This cookbook is a keeper!

Vacation, Visit, or Visceral Living
If you are not yet blessed with living on South Carolina's Daufuskie Island or even a vacation here, reading and eating from Sallie Ann's recipes is the next best thing.Enjoy!

True life is in the details--this book is a treasure.
This little memoir by a highly educated black woman who lived in Montgomery before, during and after the boycott stands like a monument in my eyes.A mountain-top view where the reader will observe more slow-moving colors than the eye can understand, especially for someone like me who wasn't there.Yet the panorama is available in detail, more than you get when you read about Rosa Parks and the general information low-lighted in most history books.To name just two of the many individuals from her chronicle, Ms. Robinson details the ironic arrest of 15-year old Claudette Colvin who was the real Rosa Parks, and the influence of Mr. E.D. Nixon, a respected civic leader who was imprisoned despite his courteous connections with all highly-functioning organizations in Montgomery.Of course, the plodding, painfully slow struggle that was galvanized finally by Martin Luther King, Jr. is the real story. A story this memoir tells for a person interested in the close-up side of life--not glossed-over, sensationalized or generalized--but told intelligently. It is a book that bears emotional intensity and wisdom. I highly recommend it.

Interesting book.
This is a great first-hand account of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.It gives great insight on the emotions of the boycotters, and the determination that kept them going.The book is a little slow at times, but it's well worth it in the end.It really shows the intricate details that made the boycott successful.

Strength and Weakness
Robinson's book is truly a memoir, and I find this to be both a strength and a weakness.It gives the book strength because it is a complete personal account.Every piece of information is direct from not only a first hand observer, but moreover a participant.However it weakens the book because at points too much information was detailed. Especially information about already well documented events. ... Read more
