Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
With respect for the past and an enlightened, modern sensibility, the Lee brothers roll up their sleeves and get elbow-deep in Southern cooking in all its sugary, fried goodness. The authors grew up in Charleston, S.C., where they developed a love for boiled peanuts, shrimp and grits, and she-crab soup. Now New Yorkers (and co-proprietors of a mail-order source for Southern pantry staples), the brothers are aware that certain Southern foods have quite a reputation elsewhere in the country ("grits run a close second to lard as the longest-running joke about southern food, perceived by the uninitiated to be a curiosity rather than what they are: a pillar of southern cooking"). As a result, their approach to the cuisine is steeped in research and never snobby. Many recipes are coded "quick knockout," meaning they use just a few ingredients and can be prepared relatively quickly (Fried Oysters, Shrimp Burgers). More involved recipes (Lady Baltimore Cake; Kentucky Burgoo, a meat stew) come with fascinating asides on their origins. Classy, matter-of-fact and welcoming, this volume deserves a permanent place on cooks' shelves by day and on bedside tables by night, as a browsable primer on a world and its food. Photos, line drawings. (Oct.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
Library Journal
The Lees, frequent contributors to the New York Times, Food & Wine, and Travel & Leisure, are the owners of a mail-order business called the Lee Bros. Boiled Peanuts Catalog. Their catalog, and ensuing career as food writers, had a somewhat unlikely start: recently transplanted from Charleston, SC, and homesick for the particularly Southern treat of boiled raw peanuts, the brothers cooked up a big batch in their tiny kitchen on the Lower East Side of New York City and then tried to market them. Eventually, the Times food section ran a note about the peanuts, and their mail-order business was born. They now travel all over the South seeking out regional specialties and writing about their experiences. Once they began developing recipes to go along with their finds, they started playing around with, or rediscovering, other favorite Southern dishes, e.g., Cheese-Grits Chiles Rellenos with Roasted Tomato Gravy and Clover Peach Fried Pies. The brothers are good storytellers, and their cookbook is as entertaining as it is informative. Highly recommended. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

    Outstanding!

    Not having dabbled much in terms of southern cooking, I found the Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook to be a great foundation upon which to venture into this rich culture of food. It is comprehensive in terms of the scope of recipes which are straightforward and (most importantly) successful. Each dish I tried turned out wonderfully, resulting in food that was never fussy or over complicated. The food is what matters. Fresh ingredients are centre stage. While the recipes are rife with inventive twists, tradition is still honoured.

    I love the informative and sometimes quirky introductions provided for each recipe, where you learn about the history behind each dish. Through the anecdotal stories included throughout the book, the Lee Bros. seamlessly blend historical information on Southern food along with their personal experiences. It is a wonderful combination of culture and cuisine.

    Excellent Knowledge of Southern Cooking

    Well organized, the brothers know and love southern cooking. Recipes will make you want to try new dishes even if you are not from the south. Old stand-by recipes you loved growing up; your Mom cooked and we got to busy to learn and take the time to prepare.

    Good overview of Southern Cooking with a twist!

    The vignettes associated with the recipes in this book are almost as good as the recipes themselves. I love the stories the Lee's tell with almost every recipe. The recipes are easy to follow & offer a contemporary view of Southern cuisine without being losing the authenticity of flavor.

    delectable prose

    The Lee Bros. recipes are fantastic. Inventive twists on Southern classic ingredients (chocolate grits ice cream sounds strange but is truly delicious!) plus delicious updates of favorite dishes like mac and cheese and fried chicken. And the writing is so lyrical and witty, that you'll want to serve the stories again and again.
