From our kitchens to yours
The Shines Cookbook
Real recipes, family favorites and the memories that make them worth passing down.
Pull up a chair
A community cookbook with a story in every dish
The Shines Cookbook is a place for the food Walterboro and Colleton County actually cook: weeknight suppers, church-table favorites, Lowcountry dishes, holiday traditions, budget meals, desserts and recipes carried through generations.
Recipes can be simple, handwritten, well-loved or changed over time. The story behind a dish is welcome, too, because sometimes the memory is the best ingredient.
