Lafcadio Hearn's Creole Cook Book

Rating:
Summary: A Piece of Creole History
Review: As a true "cajun" who grew up on South Louisiana, I am interested in the history of cajun and creole culture, which is often centered around food. This book is a treasured piece of the history of creole cuisine in New Orleans. The text is sometimes hard to read, but the recipes are an authentic snapshot of what might have been the "standard" for New Orleans before the turn of the century. I am proud to have this book in my collection of early and historical Cajun and Creole cookbooks.
