Talk About Good II

Rating:
Summary: Great Sequel
Review: This a the sequel to the first Talk About Good, but is good and complete enough to stand on its own. I recommend it highly as I do the first one. The artwork by Rodrigue is wonderful and the recipes are truly authentic. A necessary edition to any kitchen, Cajun or not.

Summary: Aptly subtitled "A Toast to Cajun Food"
Review: This cookbook is an excellent source reflective of South Louisiana (i.e., "Cajun") culture. The recipes are interesting, easy to follow, and have been "tested" on family and friends of Junior League members.

As interesting as the recipes are the illustrations by internationally known painter George Rodrigue of Lafayette, Louisiana. His paintings and comments accurately portray the Cajun culture, and give an insight into the Cajun way of life. You will even learn the meaning of the expression, "Laissez les bons temps rouler".

If you want to know how to make a good gumbo, many delicious ways to cook seafood (after all, the Cajuns invented the idea of "blackened" fish), or what to do with some of the game that your mighty hunters have brought home, this is the cookbook for you!
