This cookbook and kitchen memoir follows that rhythm through a full week: the Sunday chicken bog, the Monday okra soup, the Wednesday red rice and the Friday fish.

Look inside · First chapter

My grandmother Hessie had one pot that mattered, a black cast-iron Dutch oven big enough to bathe a baby in, and on Sunday it went on the stove before we left for church. Chicken, onion, a little smoked sausage, rice and water, and a lid that stayed on till we got home. She could tell if the rice was done by the sound the lid made when she tapped it with a spoon. That is chicken bog, and it feeds twelve if nobody takes seconds, which nobody ever did not. Here is how I make it now. Brown two poun

Practical and warm

Wanted photos

The writing is so good I did not miss them much, but a few pictures would be nice.

The okra soup

I have tried six okra soup recipes. This is the one. Do not skip the bacon grease.

Like cooking with my grandmother

The chicken bog came out right the first time. The stories made me call my aunt.

About the author

Odessa Grant

For thirty-one years I ran the cafeteria at Burke Elementary, which means I have cooked more rice than most people will see in their lives. I learned to cook from my grandmother on Johns Island and learned to cook for a crowd from a lunch line that never stopped moving. When I retired, my grandchildren asked me to write the recipes down before I took them with me, so I did, and then I kept going, because a recipe without the story is only half a meal. I live in West Ashley with my husband Clarence, who taste-tests everything and has never once said no.
