Dr. Harriet H. Roberts' HopSak and Satin: The Tastes and Elegance of Savannah contains more than 200 fantastic, thoroughly tested family favorite recipes and tips for planning successful parties and other entertainment with a “southern flair.” Many of the recipes include foods that are indigenous to West Africa, the Carribbean, St. Catherines Island, and the coastal southwestern region of the USA, “the Low Country.”
As the title of the book suggests, there is indeed a dichotomy between the simple “down home” dishes in the book, compared to fancy or more elegant ones.
Also included in the book is a wealth of information focused on the author’s family history and cultural heritage. This focus is also reflected in many of the recipes in the book.
