The starting point for this collection is largely based upon recipes that were collected during the 1700s, when the region was divided among several distinct plantations and trading posts.

From the sweet and savory delight of colonial-style cornbread to classic dishes like fried chicken, potato fritters and peppered beef stew, each recipe is documented to include the ingredients, instructions and a brief history lesson to provide a comprehensive look into the meals of the era.

Recipes like peach cobbler and jam cake provide a glimpse into the sweet treats of the time while dishes such as beef with gravy and cornmeal dumplings offer a more savory experience. Additional treats such as brandied pears and stewed oyster stuffing provide variety and unique flavors that bring to life the meals of the region's colonial past.
