Summary: I've had good luck with this...
Review: I picked up this book on our honeymoon in New Orleans five years ago. A souvenir, if you will, but have found some wonderful recipes in it. The chicken etoufee is delicious and easy, the eggplant caponata is fabulous, and Mae Mae's ice cream is the richest and best-- like Ben and Jerry made it in your own kitchen! Plus, I love to read it-- her personality really comes through. The other review sounds like a sound bite from a publishing company, but I must say I really enjoy this cookbook. I have several shelves full of cookbooks, but this one is one of a few that gets used regularly!

Summary: Cookbook works for first-time bride at age 40
Review: I'd never cooked, and this was the most treasured of the cookbooks that my new husband arrived with hoping I might make a few things out of it someday. I wondered if maybe we shouldn't start with Joy of Cooking or something, but actually this is a wonderful book for novice or (I bet) experienced cook alike. Nippy's warm, kind voice is like a loving presence helping you bring to life the meals that her family gathered around and loved years ago. Whether or not you agree with James Carville's politics, after reading this cookbook, you will sure know that he was brought up right!
