We’re all family here at The Cottage, but it’s well-known that in the South, manners are everything. From strangers waving hello as they walk by to new neighbors leaving cookies at your door, we locals never miss a chance to show off our famous hospitality. Southern etiquette doesn’t begin and end with saying please and …
They say that cooking is love made visible, and there’s perhaps no better testament to that quote than the world’s favorite dessert: chocolate. Crack open a gooey chocolate chip cookie, bite into a homemade brownie, or cut into a chocolate lava cake, and you’ll know what we mean. If you’re like us, sharing what you …
While chestnuts roasting on an open fire sounds nice, we would much rather have Christmas cookies baking in the oven.

The Great Southern Cooking Debates If there’s one thing Southerners take seriously, it’s food. Well…maybe there are three things Southerners take seriously: Thanksgiving, cookouts, and old family recipes. Whether she made her fried chicken with cornstarch or cornflakes, Grandma’s word – and recipes – are law. That’s why so many of our neighbors are sure …
Sometimes, you really can taste the difference an old family recipe makes. When it comes to cooking, Grandma knows best, especially if she’s Southern. One bite of her country-fried chicken or peach cobbler could take you straight back to a simpler time when food seemed to magically appear on plates. It’s a comfort we could …
Three More Reasons to Love Dining Outdoors There’s a lot to love about Summer in the Lowcountry (besides the obvious beach days).
