Summary: Eat here!!!!
Review: This is a great book on Creole cooking. Carey's recipes are straightforward, and his directions are clear and easy to follow. The recipes he includes from the five New Orleans chefs and restaurants that he selected to be in the book with him are innovative approaches to Creole cuisine. I do a lot of oriental cooking, and I like the way he has chosen to include aspects of that cuisine. This isn't a book for the complete novice, but a moderately experienced cook will find a wealth of interesting dishes and historical information about this unique American style of cooking, all presented with a great sense of humor. This is an excellent addition to any cook's library.
