Reviews

When it comes to food, Holly knows what she is talking about. She is a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu, and even lived in France for a while where she was introduced to the wonderful world of tarts. This is a beautiful cookbook. The photographs were taken by Helene Dujardin, who is from Charleston, also. I became acquainted with her work when Pioneer Woman featured her. When I think of tarts, I usually think of things that are made in tart pans. But this book also has all types of things made with pastry ...

I made this dessert today, fueled by the fact that I received this book in the mail yesterday. It was sent to me by Holly Herrick, the author of this gorgeous cookbook. She graciously provided the book for us to give away to one of our lucky readers, and she has even signed it. This book was just released this past October.

Leo and I became familiar with Holly when we lived near Charleston, SC. Holly was a restaurant critic and wrote a weekly column for the Post and Courier Newspaper. At the time, Leo and I thought that she had the dream job. We tried our best to eat in every restaurant in Charleston. We couldn't do it because there are so many good restaurants there. Leo gained 30 pounds the first year we lived in Charleston!

Since then, Holly has gone on to write several cookbooks such as Southern Farmers Market Cookbook, and The Charleston Chef's Table Cookbook. Her most recent book, Food Lovers' Charleston and Savannah-A Guide to the Best Restaurants, Markets, and Local Culinary Offerings will be in bookstores within a few days and is available now on Amazon.com.
