Today will continue  a series of posting of illustrations that will be used in an illustrated book of  Gulf Coast Memories and especially the foods of the Gulf Coast and the Caribbean that I grew up eating and cooking.

These illustrations in pastel, cover memories from New Orleans, Florida Pan Handle, South Florida, Florida Keys, South Carolina Low Country and  the Caribbean.

These are areas are rich in tradition and in receipes handed down for generations.

I have many delightful memories of sitting on the beach or in the back yard having a "Crab Boil" with friends and family.

Everyone knows that the famous "Joe's Stone Crabs" are the most celebrated crabs, delicate and delicious a real tradition during the winter holidays.  http://www.joesstonecrab.com/  click here to see his recipes and our traditions of dining in Miami Beach.
