A few years ago my mom and I went to Georgia and I had shrimp and grits for the first time. It wasn't just shrimp in a tomato sauce over grits (though I love that). The dish had what I can only describe as grit cakes with shrimp cooked in a white wine sauce over the top. Since then I have sought out shrimp and grits whenever I can. This cookbook was the perfect find. Can't wait to try the recipes.

I was so excited when I ran across this book at the library. Shrimp and grits is a go-to favorite of mine and a whole book dedicated to it, you can't go wrong, right? Overall, I was pleased. There were so many variations of my beloved meal. I loved the history behind each version especially growing up in the south and being familiar with many of the locations mentioned. I would have appreciated a picture for each recipe though. The ingredients were so similar that the visual representation of each dish would have been helpful. I found myself skipping over the ones without the pictures once I got towards the back of the book with the chef's recipes.

Nathalie Dupree, Nathalie Dupree's Shrimp and Grits Cookbook (Wyrick and Company, 2006)
So shrimp and grits is a fine meal, to be sure, but how can you come up with an entire shrimp and grits cookbook? The obvious answer to this question is “you can't, really,” but that didn't stop Nathalie Dupree from taking about forty-eight pages' worth of recipes, adding far more than the average number of photographs, and coming up with one. I grant you, the pictures are mouth-watering, and if you like shrimp and grits you'll like Dupree's many variations on the theme, but in a world of specialty cookbooks, there's such a thing as “going too far”, and this one crosses that line. ***
