4.0 out of 5 stars A good book for **BEGINNERS**
The other reviewer completely missed the point. This is a starter's book, of course it will seem basic to someone from New Orleans. I was also raised in New Orleans, and,like most people here, I was raised cooking. However, those poor souls raised north of I-10 need some help.

1.0 out of 5 stars Being born born on the Bayou doesn't mean she can cook
I don't know where this woman learned to cook, but she sure needs to go back to school. I was born and raised in New Orleans and went to college in Lafayette, Louisiana so I know Louisiana cooking. Her recipes are trite and unimaginative. Do yourself a favor and buy a cookbook .... Save your money and avoid indigestion, don't use this book. END

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration, June 5, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Cajun Cooking for Beginners (Paperback)
Having been raised north of I-10 and not needing help with my cajun cooking, I love to read cookbooks all the same, even though cooking is not one of my favorite chores. Cajun Cooking For Beginners has inspired me to cook some of the old favorite dishes, using it's recipes for reference. My family thanks you.
