Lowcountry Cuisine Explained

A lot of what I do would be described as Lowcountry cuisine.  This type of food is popular in both Georgia and South Carolina.  Most people are probably more familiar with Cajun cuisine from New Orleans, but the two are actually very similar.  Here are some examples of my favorite foods to make from the Lowcountry food repertoire: She-crab soup, Okra soup, Oyster roast, Frogmore stew, Charleston red rice, baked Mac-n-Cheese.  There are other great parts of lowcountry cuisine, but these are some of my favorites.  I will put up some recipes soon!



Southern Cooking

Cooking in the South is very much like what you’d consider ‘home cooking’ or comfort food.  Some of the most popular themes in Southern cooking, inside and outside of Georgia are Cajun, Carolinas, BBQ, Creole, low-country, soul, and Tex-Mex. Southern cooking usually includes fresh vegetables (organic these days :-)), rice or corn, usually pork or chicken, and seafood. Popular dishes you may have heard of include: bbq, chicken-fried steak, catfish, smothered pork chops, black-eyed peas, grits, biscuits and gravy, fried green tomatoes, collard greens, okra and sweet potatoes. Don’t forget something to cleanse your pallet.  Cooking in my kitchen in Augusta, GA usually includes sweet iced tea and mint juleps.
