"Dig right in to the plucky octogenarian Emily Whaley and her passionate, endlessly quotable opinions on gardening and just about everything else," said the New York Times Book Review when Mrs. Whaley and Her Charleston Garden came out in spring 1997. Emily Whaley took the gardening world by storm - and a few other worlds as well.
It turns out Mrs. Whaley, at age eighty-seven, had a good deal more on her mind that she had no intention of keeping to herself. Her other favorite hobby - cooking delicious meals and serving them to the people she loved - was ripe for the picking and her opinions on fostering friendship and love as quotable as ever.
So, here are all the admonishments Mrs. Whaley passed on to generations of Charleston hosts and hostesses. Here, as well, are her favorite one hundred recipes - regional delectables like "Edisto Breakfast shrimp," perfect supper party dishes like "Pawley's Island Crab Cakes," fine old-fashioned breads like "Little Thin Cornmeal Pancakes," her variations on old standbys like "Dancing School Fudge," and the recipes painstakingly collected for dealing with what the fisherman and the hunter might bring home. Also sprinkled throughout are more of her juicy little famliy stories and her priceless explanations of Southern parlance. Mrs. Whaley Entertains indeed.
