Step back into the culinary and social heritage of the Carolina Lowcountry with Charleston Recollections and Receipts. Written by Rose P. Ravenel (1850–1943)—daughter of a prominent Huguenot planter, merchant, and shipowner—this charming collection pairs historical memoirs with authentic 19th-century Charleston receipts (recipes).
Ravenel spent her lifetime documenting family accounts, witty personal observations, and over 200 traditional recipes gathered from Charleston society. Compiled by her great-niece, Elizabeth Ravenel Harrigan, this volume recreates 12 classic Charlestonian menus while preserving intimate memories of Southern life before and after the Civil War. The book also features original line drawings by Ravenel and her close friend, Lisa Huger Smith.
