Title: Hoppin' John's Charleston, Beaufort & Savannah : Dining at Home in the Lowcountry by John Martin Taylor ISBN: 0-517-70387-4 Publisher: Clarkson Potter Pub. Date: 25 March, 1997 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $37.50 |

Rating: 2
Summary: Lot's of pretty pictures. Short on recipes.
Comment: If you want some excellent photography of several great homes in the South, you will enjoy this book. It will make an attractive addition to anyone's coffee table. If you want a good collection of recipes from the south, then look elsewhere. The quantity of recipes is limited; and the ones that are there are found, for the most part, in dozens of other cookbooks. Save your money.

Rating: 4
Summary: excellent recipes, but ...
Comment: The recipes in this book are excellent, as is the photography. However, I could do without Mr. Taylor's somewhat elitist comments throughout the book, such as what "self-respecting" Charlestonians do and don't do. I learned to cook in Charleston, from many people who certainly consider themselves "self-respecting", and who were born and raised in Charleston (unlike Mr. Taylor), and they cook in many different ways, using many different recipes and ingredients to prepare the same dish! Also, the repeated plugging of products sold in his store downtown is somewhat self-serving. But like I said, the recipes are worth it, and I use them frequently.
