Commendation Quotes:
Sallie Ann Robinson cooks slow and local--from the heart.--Damon Lee Fowler, Garden & Gun



Commendation Quotes:
For some, the tales and recipes in this book will seem like memories. For others, they'll be discoveries. With Gullah Home Cooking the Daufuskie Way, Sallie Ann Robinson captures the cadence of the fading Gullah language and the culinary traditions of a disappearing way of life. It invites readers to make her family's recipes their own."-- New York Amsterdam News

Commendation Quotes:
Delicious, authentic recipes . . . [a] cultural testament to Lowcountry cooking and living."-- Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Commendation Quotes:
A funny, heart-warming story of growing up on Daufuskie Island and how and why the Gullah culture cooks and eats as it does. . . .

A perfect gift for the serious cook who takes pleasure in studying various cuisines and cultures."-- Macon Magazine

Commendation Quotes:
Sallie Ann Robinson is a fresh, soft Daufuskie sea breeze blowing through the house: lively, playful and full of laughter, yet warm and soothing. Cooking with her is easy and comfortable. . . . [Daufuskie Island] has been captured beautifully in [Robinson's] cookbook/memoir. . . . Robinson writes with the same freshness, warmth, love and forthright honesty about growing up in an almost forgotten corner of the world."--Damon Lee Fowler, Savannah Morning News

Commendation Quotes:
With this collection of recipes, stories, and personal reminiscences, Sallie Ann has cooked up a big pot of steaming low-country gumbo.

Commendation Quotes:
Opens the front door of Robinson's garden and childhood and welcome[s] you right in."-- Chicago Tribune

Commendation Quotes:
This book honors a love of [Robinson's] childhood and her family, and that love is intertwined with food. Introducing most recipes are reminiscences of loading the wood stove, trips to the store, fishing for sheepshead, washing clothes on a washboard and cooking 'long pots' (slow-cooked meals). Beautiful photos of island life and a relaxed attitude toward cooking make for accessible additions to anyone's Southern repertoire. . . . The book [has a] unique, almost anthropological intrigue. . . . This is not a cookbook meant for nouveau palates as much as it is for the preservation of a unique, fascinating culture. Wonderful to browse through and experiment with, this is an excellent volume for anyone interested in Southern and African-American culture and food."-- Publishers Weekly

Publisher Marketing:

"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.
