The Academy’s unique curriculum includes everything from cocktail-party etiquette to business entertaining, dealing with household guests, and cooking for the holidays. Here, after a little gentle instruction from Deans Pollak and Manigault, interspersed with plenty of humor, students find they are living healthier, having stronger ties to friends and family, and using their houses to branch out in ways they never dreamed possible. Since not everyone can get to their sold-out classes in Charleston, the Deans are now offering this book so happier liv­ing can be within everyone’s grasp, not just the select few. Review: A fun, truly useful read - What a treat this is to read! I am literally laughing out loud. You are hilarious! I feel like I am in the room with you, listening to you be hilarious in person. How on earth did you write this so fast? I'm sure it is a great cookbook as well. I love, for instance, your salad suggestions for the different seasons. Those kinds of ideas give a person confidence to do something on their own instead of just using one specific recipe. It is very well-organized and extremely appealing in every way. The cover even caught the eye of my six year-old, who was quite taken with it. Congratulations on an incredible job. Not only on the book, but on the whole creation of the Academy. Isn't it amazing that a year or so ago, the world didn't even realize that we needed it? You two have created something that didn't exist before and made it a great part of people's lives. So, so inspiring. Kudos to you both. Thank you for sharing your creativity, humor and wonderful selves with Charleston, and now, the rest of the world. Review: Charming AND pragmatic! - Why do I love this book? I'm a very busy professional with children and multiple homes who tries like crazy to have moments of grace and charm in a too-hectic life. What Suzanne Pollak and Lee Manigault have done with their book is to make grace, charm, and great food accessible to everyone, in a most pragmatic and humorous way. They are clearly very elegant AND a couple of Southern broads (as a New Yorker would say)! Whether you are a neophyte cook or already accomplished, whether you have run homes or are starting out, there are fantastic tips and really wonderful recipes for all in this beautifully simply-designed and written book. I own over 200 books on home design, cookery, lifestyle, and the like and I love many of them. The Charleston Academy of Domestic Pursuits Handbook stands on its own, with really useful information, some unusual but simple recipe ideas, as well as some plain fun stuff. Personally, I'd like to take a vacation from my business life and go to the Charleston Academy for a few weeks -- and I suspect my family would appreciate the results. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #319,597 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,973 in Entertaining & Holiday Cooking #26,992 in Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 207 Reviews | ## Images ![The Charleston Academy of Domestic Pursuits: A Handbook of Etiquette with Recipes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614C2VgelXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fun, truly useful read *by F***R on May 8, 2014* What a treat this is to read!

I did make the twice fried in duck fat hash last night for my sons and fraternity brothers coming back from a bowl game. It was so good one of the boys took the bowl and a spatula to lick it clean. Here is my complaint. Please share how big a pan to use, and how long it will take the potatoes to cook. I am experienced cook, but someone less so might have a harder time. I would gift this book which is as good as it gets with me 4 stars for incomplete directions. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/4085286-the-charleston-academy-of-domestic-pursuits-a-handbook-of-etiquette](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/4085286-the-charleston-academy-of-domestic-pursuits-a-handbook-of-etiquette) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
