by Donald Barickman, Rick McKee (Photographer)

Donald Barickman brings his contemporary take on Southern flavors to the table at Magnolia's Restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina. Following up his successful first book, Magnolia's Southern Cuisine, Barickman offers this new, expanded edition and long-awaited sequel, bringing forth over fifty new mouth-watering recipes while retaining many of the most popular originals. Chef Barickman's resource guide and easy-to-follow recipes make this cookbook a must-have for anyone with an interest in cooking in the "lowcountry" style.
Magnolias, featured in Patricia Schultz's 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, has been a member of the prestigious Distinguished Restaurants of North America since 1995 and has received awards and widespread recognition from dining authorities such as Gourmet Magazine, the New York Times, The Food Network and Southern Living Magazine. The New York Times sums it up "Recommended by a life-long Charlestonian . . . Magnolias was my best meal in a city of great food."

When I visited Charleston in May I wanted to pick up a cookbook that would feature the cuisine of the region - turns out Magnolias, the cookbook from the restaurant of the same name in Charleston was a perfect find. It features authentic recipes of the south - Pimento Cheese, Blue Crab Bisque, Carolina Peanut Vinaigrette, Dirty Rice, Collard Greens, Hoppin' John, Grits, Lowcountry Bouillabaisse, Chicken and Andouille Gumbo - in a lovely coffee-table worthy cookbook with mouthwatering food photos. I especially like the Southern Pantry section up front that explains ingredients like Carolina Plantation Aromatic Rice and gives recipes for southern cuisine staples like spice rubs and cracklings. If you need a fix from the south, this is the cookbook for you.

I bought this for my mom for mothers day. This book has the most amazing shrimp, sausage and grits recipe that I have ever tasted.
