In Charleston Recollections and Receipts, Rose P. Ravenel (1850-1943), daughter of a Huguenot planter, merchant, and shipowner, kept notebooks throughout her life with stories of the Carolina Lowcountry, accounts of her family, and her humorous insights. During her lifetime, Ravenel collected more than two hundred receipts from Charleston ladies of her acquaintance. Editor Elizabeth Ravenel Harrigan, great-niece of Rose P. Ravenel, compiled a selection from her ancestor’s notebooks to recreate 12 delicious Charlestonian meals and to capture memories of Charleston before and after the Civil War.
Also included are drawings by Ravenel and her friend Lisa Huger Smith.
