This small book is charming and informative about our connection to food in our culture. This is Ms. Shapiro's journey through South Florida and her culinary experieces. Obviously she has done a great deal of research on the subject and has presented it in a different and unique way. Well worth having in your collection of book on foods.

What shines most is Ms. Shapiro's commitment 4 out of 5 stars.

Reminiscent of the likes of a Ken Kesey magical bus trip, only without the psychotropic drugs, Ms.Shapiro's mind was instead absorbed in seeking out the next celebration of south Florida food and it's historic cultural story. I found this slim, little journal to be a fun exploration of the limitless possibilities one can experience if only you really just looked around you. "The saladettes in the wrapper bowl was born because I had to eat out at the local Publix supermarket." see page 27. This collection of historic fun facts and recipes (uncovered by Ms. Shapiro's relentless research and hands-on experiences)is destined to be a classic as it is a delightful breath of fresh air and combines tales of her research travels and the recipes she "un-earthed". It will inspire you to not just look at south Florida, but to also seek out it's delicious smells in some of the most interesting and unique places.

Editorial Review:

A South Florida Culinary Adventure is a most daring cookbook. This book has history, culture and ambience, and is one woman's journey through South Florida where she experiences and shares different culinary pleasures. From food quiz to famous quatations, from prison to the White House, you'll love the culture of food portrayed. Well-researched, with interesting old photographs, the menus and recipes are easy and simple. This unique book will excite women on the go and is a must-have for the scrupulous foodie's collection. "A great cookbook! Original and fun to read." - Patty Gonzalez, homemaker and office manager.

Editorial Review:

Peppered with stories and memories of his Augusta, Georgia, upbringing, "Supper at Richard’s Place: Recipes from the New Southern Table" reflects the soulful and homey atmosphere of this Queens-based restaurant. Chef Richard Jones’ love for authentic Southern food, which he calls "the original fusion cuisine," is palpable here in nearly 150 recipes ideal for anyone with a desire for down-home cooking.

From grilled black-eyed-pea patties to potato salad, Southern fried chicken to collard greens, pecan catfish to crabmeat dumplings, Chef Jones has created a collection of authentic Southern recipes--some familiar, others updated and reconsidered to reflect both New York’s diverse influences and the country’s dietary trends--that is sure to delight anyone, anywhere, with a taste for soulful food.

The inclusion of recipes for breads and biscuits like Crusty Skillet Corn Bread and Sweet Potato Bread is a refreshing nod to homestyle cooking in this era of carbohydrate restraint, and his chapter on sauces, salsas, relishes and dressings includes some Southern surprises, like watermelon salsa. Chef Jones culminates the collection with his own special recipe for the Southern classic, Red Velvet Cake, among ten savory and simple desserts.

"Supper at Richard’s Place: Recipes from the New Southern Table" will appeal to anyone craving fool-proof, kitchen-tested comfort food.
