Celebrate Beaufort, the new cookbook from Beaufort’s favorite caterer Debbi Covington, is a collection of scrumptious recipes and tales of her beloved coastal community. The handsomely illustrated volume is full of delicious menus that pay tribute to the history, heritage, and people of the Lowcountry of South Carolina–including our own Pat Conroy.
