Dishes and Beverages of the Old South lingered as a rare text on southern foodways.
This pathfinding cookbook, one of the first to be written in a narrative style, is available to a new generation of southern foodies and amateur chefs.
McCulloch-Williams not only provides recipes for the modern cook, but she expounds upon the importance of quality ingredients, muses on memories brought back by a good meal, and deftly recognizes that comfort goes hand in hand with southern eats.
Castle navigates the book of Dishes and Beverages of the Old South with a clear vision of McCulloch-Williams and her southern opus, and readers and cooks alike will be invigorated by the republication of this classic work.
