(More customer reviews)I've cooked with Damon Lee Fowler's other books, like Classical Southern Cooking, and the recipes come out great.

I made the shrimp and grits from Savannah Cook Book, and it is tasty! I've reviewed about a dozen others, and they are gonna taste just as good-I can "taste" a dish fairly well, from reading its ingredients and steps and know if its balanced.
I've cooked quite a few variation of Southern classics (many shrimp and grits versions!); that's why I buy yet another Southern cook book. This one's recipes are worth cooking.I'll cook more from the book leisurely, and add my little variations as I go. That's how this book is best taken-leisurely, just as a few days visit to lovely Savannah should be. (I highly recommend visiting the classic Bonaventure Cemetery out of town, with the beautifully carved monuments and the foliage and trees-it's perhaps the prettiest one in the USA, and I'm not one to visit such spots!)

Mr.Fowler has his personality in the recipes, and the photos are quite attractive.
He truly loves, eats and breathes the South. This book for Savannah, and really any of his other books, are a great way to savor some the South's rich culsines.

For hundreds of years, Savannah has charmed residents and visitors alike with its fine old architecture, wide, cobbled streets and romantic moss-draped trees. Though less widely known than its haunting beauty and fabled eccentricities, part of the enchantment of Savannah is its cuisine. Blending European, Asian, and West African customs Damon Lee Fowler introduces The Savannah Cookbook, offering recipes for Southern classics such as rice and grits, soups and stews, poultry, fish and meat dishes, as well as a helpful chapter on pantry basics.
