The Classic Book on Southern Cooking
First published in 1942, Cross Creek Cookery was compiled by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings at the request of readers who wanted to recreate the luscious meals described in Cross Creek -- her famous memoir of life in a Florida hamlet.
Lovers of old-fashioned, down-home cooking will treasure the recipes for Grits, Hush-Puppies, Florida Fried Fish, Orange Fluff, and Utterly Deadly Southern Pecan Pie. For more adventuresome palates, there are such unusual dishes as Minorcan Gopher Stew, Coot Surprise, Alligator-Tail Steak, Mayhaw Jelly, and Chef Huston's Cream of Peanut Soup.
Spiced with delightful anecdotes and lore, Cross Creek Cookery guides the reader through the rich culinary heritage of the deep tidal South with a loving regard for the rituals of cooking and eating. Anyone who longs for food -- and writing -- that warms the heart will find ample portions of both in this classic cookbook.

Went to school near the town of Cross Creek, in Florida. Also, M. K Rawlings has been one of my favorite authors. Nice part of Florida, great author and good recipes for one and all.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's authentic Old Florida cooking
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2022

I love her little stories mixed in between the recipes. I've visited her home; read her books, and--being a Florida native born in the early thirties--recall her well. The Cross Creek area, fortunately, still is largely undeveloped, so one can still see much of what attracted her to live in this remote spot in Florida. Besides writing, cooking was her passion, and the recipes in this book are as authentic as you will find from a period and place long gone. You don't even have to be a cookbook enthusiast. It is just an enjoyable read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful stories, interesting recipes
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2020

I love this cookbook! It's written with great style and wonderful stories of a lifestyle that's disappearing. There are many things in the book that I will never cook since they fall under a broad heading of road kill. However, there are a lot of everyday recipes that still make sense 90 years later. Reading the menus shows how creative these cooks were, and how they could make a meal from just about anything. It's as much a story of rural Southern living as it is a cookbook.

I had a copy of this cookbook that had belonged to my mother that I loved. It was probably from its first release and had wonderful drawings. I was so happy to get this one to replace it (it was lost in the flooding from a hurricane) and to see you had included some of those great drawings. There are some great country cooking recipes and the stories are wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like Meeting a New Friend
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2011

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings wrote a book of love, Southern cookery, and humor. It opens with the quote, "To preserve discipline in our armed forces, I demand CROSS CREEK be banned in or near any encampment." (Apparently, the description of fabulous foods was destroying morale.) The book closes with the quote, "Better a dinner of herbs where love is." What comes between is a broad variety of dishes and stories that delight the palate and the soul.

The recipe for watermelon cake is missing several letters/words/instructions. (Any Floridian will tell you of books and papers lost to the appetites of our sacred palmetto bugs.) The instructions on turtle eggs include proper collection to conserve the species. (Collection is now banned due to people abusing this harvest.) And the mystery of Minorcan Gopher Stew is answered by a preceding historical account and the hint that one must cut away the shell of the gopher. (Gopher tortoise is a threatened species.)

It is not just a cookbook; it is a wonderfully written window on a world not so long ago in years, but ages ago in tradition.

Nice to read about Cross Creek again, & seeing the actual recipes - not that I would be making alligator tail steak, frogs legs or anything with a turtle in it!

Criss Creek cookery combines the backwoods of Florida with Southern hospitality leaving the reader with a feeling of warmth toward this whole region. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, an exceptional story-teller, does an excellent job of combining history, local color, and appetizing recipes. Her "Watermelon Cake" had amounts of ingredients missing in her Grandmother's recipe; she offers what works for her. Her " Utterly deadly Southern Pecan pie" is, indeed just that! She states that she does not offer it to anyone whose welfare is of interest to her!!!! Yes! It is that good!!!
