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. ***
