Summary: Great food by great cooks
Review: Enjoyable book to read and an excellent guide to Gulf Coast cooking. A delightful blend of both family history and family food traditions. If you can't find anything good to cook in this book, you don't belong in the kitchen.

Summary: Great food by great cooks
Review: Having had pesonal experience with this cookbook--and at a far remove from the Gulf Coast--I can attest to its culinary magic. The O'Keefe family, from whence it springs, is so large that there was obviously never a shortage of diners on whom to experiment. The food that emerges is exquisite--try especially the etoufee with shrimp.

Summary: Best Seafood & Game Recipes Anywhere
Review: These obviously well-tested home kitchen recipes from the Gulf Coast are about as good as it can get. I've tried many of them and never have failed to impress both myself and my guests (many of whom begged to know the "secrets") Well, the secrets are out - and they're all in this unique and enjoyable book.

One note of caution, you may gain a pound if you merely read these recipes, and two pounds if you try one. But, it'll be well worth it for your enjoyment of these great dishes. A treasure of a book!
