Flavors of St. Augustine: An Historic Cookbook

Rating:
Summary: Fun flavors, fancy, and fact.
Review: Educational and entertaining, enticing to attempt recipes, and well worth the purchase. I plan to give copies to my friends as gifts.

Rating:
Summary: An interesting gastronomical-historical approach
Review: This is a very interesting approach that combines recipes with the stories behind them, and, since it is set in the Ancient City of St. Augustine,Florida, there is inevitably some history in the stories (and, since St. Augustine is a bit of a tourist trap, there are a few tall tales as well.) The illustrations are particularly nice. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings pioneered this genre in her 'Cross Creek Cookery" more than half a century ago, and I predict this volume will end up side-by-side with it on many bookshelves.
