Besides the good food it shares with the reader many interesting facts about the Cajuns & their 'Joy of Life.' 3)It is reasonably priced for all you get. 4)The Author's personality shines through in each recipe. 5)I love New Orleans!

Summary: An Authentic New Orleans Experience
Review: I first discovered this book while on vacation at Mardi Gras, it has 7 different recipes for Gumbo, humorous Cajun Poetry & a wealth of historical information. Personally I liked the Shrimp Creole, The Zydeco Chicken & The Mardi Gras King Cake Best; Great Choice!

Summary: A Cookbook With a Delightful Twist!
Review: I laughed out loud at a lot of the commentary in this book. One really funny example is the recipe on page 110 "Hotter Than Hell Sabbath Dip" (From a drag queen in New Orleans who claims to be the original Creole Lady Marmalade) Very campy, very southern, other recipes make reference to Tennessee William's "A Streetcar Named Desire" and there are so many with that distinctly New Orleans flair. This book shows the city and its cuisine from a new, refreshing angle and not the same old boring "BAM!"

Summary: Insightful
Review: Love this book. The One Jambalaya recipe that calls for sugar, sounds like a strange idea at first but it is truly delicious. Mr. St. Pierre writes and develops recipes for the top cooking magazines in the country and he has a unique yet wonderful way of experimenting and improving many dishes. The poetry is very insightful, giving the reader a glimpse into the Cajun world! I look forward to his new book "Mari Gras Cuisine" due out in 2002!
