In their new cookbook, Does This Taste Funny?, Stephen and Evie McGee Colbert share stories, personal reflections, and recipes from their lives in their native South Carolina. Here, the Charlestonians share a dialogue about the recipe: STEPHEN: "We are well aware how offputting the word 'paste' is. If it helps, think of this as a shrimp pâté. There are many versions of this, and variations are easy to try, but we have included the simplest and, we think, the best.

RecipesChef notesEvie: We love crabcakes. But often a recipe will call for too much "stuff" and not enough crab. This one has the correct balance. Just enough "stuff" to bind the crabmeat and allow it to fry up into a tasty cake. We cook them at night for dinner and then sometimes, if there are any left over, eat them for breakfast. Yummy both ways. Stephen: Like shrimp, crabs are all over the Lowcountry. I don't know a creek that doesn't have a crab pot in it.

RecipesChef notesStephen: My love of red rice started at Stiles Point Elementary School on James Island, South Carolina. The cafeteria served it just about every day, and that was fine with me. I've had a lot since then, but this comes closest to the deep savory sweetness that those lunch ladies somehow whipped up in barrel-sized batches.

RecipesChef notesEvie: I don't remember when exactly it happened, but the first time Stephen tasted an espresso martini, his entire worldview changed. Here was something that combined two of his favorite things in the world: caffeine and alcohol. No matter where we went on vacation, he would always kick off the holiday by ordering one. Then, during COVID, when we were all isolated in our house doing "The Late Show" from our library, he decided to bring the vacation home.

RecipesChef notesEvie: We are huge fans of Ina Garten and have many of her cookbooks. I have made her chicken thighs with mustard sauce so many times that my family begged me to change it up a bit. I sometimes get into a phase and make the same thing over and over again! So, we tweaked it a little bit and added the mushrooms.

RecipesChef notesStephen: Colbert Fudge has been the center of much debate, mainly because it is one of the few recipes from my mom, and she never wrote it down. She just eye-balled it. For example, while we kids might say "3 to 6 tablespoons of butter," mom would say "a piece of butter about the size of a medium egg." I didn't know eggs came in medium. I don't think it would hurt my mother's feelings to say that she was not a great cook.
