Description

Magnolias Classic Southern Cuisine: Collected Recipes from the Heart of Charleston represents the 30-plus years since Magnolias hit the restaurant scene. This cookbook includes more than 100 recipes, from pantry items to poultry and meats, and sides to sweets, along with bits of history and anecdotes from the storied restaurant.

Recipes include all staple menu items in addition to original menu items (from the early years) like Shellfish Over Grits, Down South Egg Rolls, and Pan-Fried Chicken Livers as well as menu selections that return seasonally each year. These recipes have withstood the test of time and are frequently requested by guests. All new colour photography brings these beloved recipes and cooking techniques to life.
