South Carolina

Here are a few images from a recent cookbook trip to South Carolina. Lisa Dupar, Kathryn Barnard, the cookbook's photographer, Callie Meyer, creative director, & Alicia Nammacher, cookbook designer all enjoyed seeing Lisa's childhood stomping grounds and inspirations for many recipes in the book. If you have not been to Charleston, South Carolina, it is a amazing town with charming people and strikingly beautiful landscapes.

Fried Chicken & Champagne - a blog is born!

Fried Chicken & Champange represents my life in the kitchen. From sand-box cakes to clambakes, from farm-fresh eggs to freshly felled venison, my inspiration is a mix of the hometown and the haute. In the end, I'm simply a southern gal who can't resist a glass of champagne with a plate of fried chicken. I hope my recipes, whether from the high-end or the down-home, add to the inspirations you've gathered in your own life.
