Southern provisions : the creation & revival of a cuisine by David S. Shields
This caught my attention because the opening discusses the revival of Carolina Gold rice, partially from the efforts of Clemson researchers. Unlike other food histories, this one examines not just the cooks but also the markets and growers of the antebellum period as tastes, preferences, and habits have changed over time (I never realized there was such a multitude of pea types...) A little on the drier side (with extensive footnotes, primarily as citations) but very informative for anyone show more curious about the food culture of the Lowcountry (especially Charleston and Savannah). show less
