Cooking in the South

“With Charleston Receipts…I’ve turned out comfort dishes that have never failed.”
- Michelle Green, Food & Wine Magazine

Called the Bible of all Junior League cookbooks, Charleston Receipts features recipes that have served Charleston hostesses well for decades and is considered a “must” in any cookbook collection. Described by Food & Wine as “reflecting the nostalgia for the Old-South that prevailed among low-country aristocrats during the postwar (Civil War) era,” Charleston Receipts features a recipe collection as colorful and timeless as the area that it represents. The recipes were influenced by the family cooks, many of whom spoke the Gullah dialect, a centuries-old Atlantic Creole language that is illustrated and preserved throughout the pages of Charleston Receipts. For its outstanding preservation of local and regional culinary customs and its benefits to the local community, Charleston Receipts was inducted into the Walter S. McIlhenny Community Cookbooks Hall of Fame in 1990.

Packed with over 600 recipes, Charleston Receipts Repeats highlights abundant Lowcountry foods – seafood, game, fresh vegetables and delicious fruit and is illustrated with historic Charleston scenes by local artist William Jameson. Repeats is the hostess’ best friend, offering not only exceptional recipes, but sample menus for all occasions. Exclusive to Charleston Receipts Repeats is an eclectic selection of recipes from some of Charleston’s most highly acclaimed restaurants including The Grill at Charleston Place and Magnolias. Charleston Receipts Repeats was inducted into the Walter S. McIlhenny Community Cookbooks Hall of Fame in 1993.

Hardcover, 381 pages.

For those who prefer the party to the dinner party, Party Receipts offers inspiration not only for lighter-fare menus, but also tips on entertaining from hostesses in Charleston, described by USA Today as “America’s Most Polite City.” From an afternoon tea to a light buffet, the pages of Party Receipts exude charm, warmth and delectable food – all the ingredients for a successful affair.

The Charleston Receipts Album is a recipe collection book. This innovative design allows for a home cook’s recipes to be in full view, avoiding the hassle of shuffling through cards to find the one you want. The plastic sleeves not only protect a torn recipe from a magazine but also care for those family recipes cards passed down from generation to generation. There is nothing on the market like the Charleston Receipts Album which also features some of the best recipes from the Junior League of Charleston, Inc.’s other cookbooks (Charleston Receipts, Charleston Receipts Repeats and Party Receipts).
