Cross Creek Cookery Paperback – Illustrated, March 20, 1996
Purchase options and add-ons
First published in 1942, Cross Creek Cookery was compiled by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings at the request of readers who wanted to recreate the luscious meals described in Cross Creek -- her famous memoir of life in a Florida hamlet.
Lovers of old-fashioned, down-home cooking will treasure the recipes for Grits, Hush-Puppies, Florida Fried Fish, Orange Fluff, and Utterly Deadly Southern Pecan Pie. For more adventuresome palates, there are such unusual dishes as Minorcan Gopher Stew, Coot Surprise, Alligator-Tail Steak, Mayhaw Jelly, and Chef Huston's Cream of Peanut Soup.
Spiced with delightful anecdotes and lore, Cross Creek Cookery guides the reader through the rich culinary heritage of the deep tidal South with a loving regard for the rituals of cooking and eating. Anyone who longs for food -- and writing -- that warms the heart will find ample portions of both in this classic cookbook.

The recipe for watermelon cake is missing several letters/words/instructions. (Any Floridian will tell you of books and papers lost to the appetites of our sacred palmetto bugs.) The instructions on turtle eggs include proper collection to conserve the species. (Collection is now banned due to people abusing this harvest.) And the mystery of Minorcan Gopher Stew is answered by a preceding historical account and the hint that one must cut away the shell of the gopher. (Gopher tortoise is a threatened species.)
It is not just a cookbook; it is a wonderfully written window on a world not so long ago in years, but ages ago in tradition.
Thank you.
