3.0 out of 5 stars
An elegant touch of New Orleans..,
This review is from: Antoine's Cookbook: Antoine's Restaurant Since 1840 Cookbook (Hardcover)
I purchased Antoine's Restaurant cookbook because I loved my visit to New Orleans and found the food served in it's restaurants to be superb. This particular cookbook is delightful in its historical information, the wonderful illustrations and it's very basic New Orleans cuisine. I found some recipes I would fix but many of the recipes are too simple. If you want a unique, New Orleans way to fix green beans, don't look in this cookbook. The green bean recipe is just that.."Green Beans with butter". Boil the beans until tender, drain and add melted butter. Thats it. The section on sauces is interesting but when fixing many of the entre's you have to go back and forth looking up the separate sauce recipes to add to the main entre' recipe. For example, the main recipe is on page 76 but the sauce is on page 124. I like everything on the same page when I'm cooking. Simple dishes are sometimes the best but most of the dishes featured in this cookbook aren't very exciting. It is a nice cookbook to add to a collection because of the history behind the restaurant but not necessarily for it's unique recipes.

This review is from: Antoine's Cookbook: Antoine's Restaurant Since 1840 Cookbook (Hardcover)
Louisiana is known for great food and New Orleans food is the best in Louisiana. One secret to good food is simplicity, so that you can taste the food you are cooking. The key to good simple food is freshness. This is what you will find in Antoine's Cookbook, good, fresh food cooked simply, so that you can taste what you are eating. Buy fresh ingredients, follow the recipes and you will eat some of the best food you have ever tasted.
