Earlier this summer I had the pleasure of meeting Pat Branning, the food editor of the Beaufort Tribune. when she came to participate in one of my classes.  She’s just recently published a beautiful hardcover book that highlights many of the Low Country inspired recipes that she’s collected and created over the years.  In addition to Low Country inspired recipes, the book also features artwork from noted Low Country artists such as Ray Ellis, among many others.

This coming Tuesday August 30th, 2011 I will be joining Pat for a special event at Saltus River Grill in historic downtown Beaufort, SC.  Saltus Executive Chef Brian Waters and his crew have created a menu from “Shrimp, Collards & Grits” and Pat Branning will be on hand to do a book-signing.  I will be doing a demonstration presentation on that much beloved southern dessert:  ‘Naner puddin’  (Banana Pudding).

If you’re in the Low Country region we’d love to have you join us for a great evening of food, wine and conversation at Saltus River Grill!  If you’re unable to join us, you can still order a copy of Pat’s book at: www.mycarolinacooking.com where Pat shares her favorite Low Country recipes, memories, and stories.
