It’s a Fare Day on the Island Contributed By: Erin Pickering & Tina Reeves
Among the hidden shops and alley’s of dowtown Beaufort, SC a woman walks into a old timey book store to find a lost and hidden treasure of Fripp Island: The Fripp Island Fare cookbook. For a mere two dollars, she bought the book and brought it safely back home to where it should be; on the Island. Full of family receipes, and downright yumminess Ginny Hucks, Jan Kersterson and Maragret Terrell, revised their edition in 1976 (from their frist printing May 1975). Inside the book it tells us the story: “Our first edition of Fripp Island Fare came about when we were sharing recepies over a weekly bridge game. The four of us, Bevie Kinder, Jan Kesterson, Ginny Hucks and Margaret Terll decided to incoporate thse and others in a seafood cookbook. Over the winter months we collected and tested receipes and in April 1975, our first edition came off the press. We hope that you will enjoy these receipes as much as we have.” Sometimes a good goal is to go back and find your roots, and discover the things that bring comfort to your home. In this case, Fripp Island Fare has all made us smile. Here is something to keep you warm for those South Carolina winter nights. *P.S. Thanks Tina Reeves for finding this gem*
