Lowcountry Bella

Lowcountry Bella (Mandi Casey) is Italian by birth and Southern by choice. Moving to eastern North Carolina as a young girl, she was exposed to a whole new type of cuisine like BBQ and hush puppies. As an adult, she embraces both cultures so you never know what she may be cooking up in her kitchen! Currently she lives in both Pawleys Island, South Carolina and Fort Mill, South Carolina.

Her family continues to grow, and that makes her happy because there are more people to feed and love. What’s better than that?

In addition to creating, cooking and sharing great recipes, she loves to research the history of food origins. Understanding the flavors and ingredients helps her creativity, but more-so, appreciate the meal with even more passion.

Mandi loves to be a guest of events, signing books and donating a portion of her net proceeds to local charities. Her second cookbook, Mangia Y’all – Make Everyday Delicious, is scheduled to be released on July 19, 2025.

Please follow her on her website www.lowcountrybella.com or on social media: @lowcountrybella on both Instagram and Facebook.
