Summary: Magnificant recipes, Fantastic photos, Wonderful reading
Review: I recieved this book for Christmas 1999 and fell in love with it and the chef! The quality of the book is GREAT and the recipes are easy to prepare with no unusual ingredients found in most books. Although I live in New England, I love to experiment with different cooking styles and this book walks me through it with ease and flavor. It has become my favorite gift for friends...especially those who love to cook!

Review: This is a cookbook that's too pretty to keep in the kitchen! The recipes are fantastic and really capture the flavor of Louisiana cooking, but the pictures capture the soul of Louisiana. I can almost hear John Folse's Donaldsonville accent as I read the recipes and the descriptions of Louisiana's bed and breakfasts.Some recipes are simply down-home and delicious like Frog in a Hole. Others are more elaborate like the Giant Mushrooms stuffed with Crawfish and Tasso. All of it is Cajun cuisine from a native Louisianian's perspective--a refreshing change from hearing how those from the frozen nawth cook Cajun. Folse even tells his readers how to cook a Cajun roux! I received this book as a gift, and I liked it so much that I am buying a copies as gifts.
