An homage and journey through the 50-year old seafood cookbook compiled by my late mother, Jane S. Coleman. A Truly Fresh Fish Needs No Fanfare. Take The Gifts God Gave You, Shut Up & Enjoy Them!
Notes on Seafood, The Cookbook
Making The Old -- and The Good -- New Again
By James Parrish Coleman -- a/k/a Jimbo Coleman
A later edition. Early Editions had a white spine, and ads for long extinct local business. |
Gulf Coast Gourmet was compiled by my late mother, Jane S. Coleman, in the early 1960s. The book was a fund raiser for the Foley Woman's Club.
The illustrations are the original work of a very talented artist named Marion Dyer. The book has been in print for many, many years; but has the simple fault of assuming you know about Gulf seafood and really know how to cook. I'll cook through the book (and my childhood), explain how Jane Coleman cooked, and tell a lot of family stories in the process. I like to cook. I will share what I have, and hope you like it. That's the spirit of this blog. Bon Appetit.
