Whitney Otawka, the award-winning chef at Greyfield Inn, a celebrated Carnegie-built property located on Cumberland Island, Georgia, will be the guest speaker at a Story & Song Bookstore Bistro Literary Luncheon on Tuesday, December 3 at 12:30 pm. The luncheon will feature dishes from Otawka’s new cookbook, The Saltwater Table: Recipes from the Coastal South.
Cumberland Island and the exceptional local ingredients to be found along our coastline are Otawka’s inspiration in celebrating the beloved food found along the Southeast coast. Offering a modern perspective on southern flavors with a strong emphasis on vegetables and fresh ingredients, the book contains 125 approachable and flavorful recipes, such as summer tomatoes topped with crispy okra, flakey buttermilk biscuits with ginger-spiked jam, and sweet Atlantic shrimp poached with beer, citrus, and bay leaves. This beautifully photographed book shows us how to enjoy iconic southern meals, everything from an oyster roast to a fish fry to a Low Country boil.
Described as a “culinary travel fantasy,” The Saltwater Table presents photos taken on Cumberland Island, transporting readers to the mysterious Island and allowing us to recreate a taste of this vibrant world in our own kitchens.
Tickets for the luncheon are $72 per person and include one autographed copy of the book. Additional copies will be available to purchase. For tickets, call Story & Song Bookstore Bistro at 904/601-2118 or purchase them online at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4425897.
