This vol 2 video is the bomb! I have Vol 1 also. My first Vol 2 broke in the VCR and I came right to Amazon and ordered another copy. Paul shows how to make jambalaya and gumbo in this Vol 2. I have the book also but I like the video better. He doesn't even follow his own recipe which is how a true cook cooks!
I've made both the jambalaya and the gumbo and they turned out great. For a Northerner (Iowan) like me, this video made it all easy. If you love cajun food like I do (been to New Orleans 6 times, twice in the last 6 months alone), then you should get this video. It's EASY!!

Always being fascinated with the cuisine and culture of Acadiana I had to try this VHS...even though many don't even have VHS' anymore. I had my lifes favorite meal at K-Paul. (his blackened Drum) As a result Chef Prudhomme has always been on my radar. I strongly prefer the cuisine of southwest louisiana to new orleans so I would make my jambalaya without tomatoes .... but just watch his very basic gumbo. I had a great chicken & sausage down pat .... he definitely opened my eyes to a new technique ... he makes his roux from the oil he fried the chicken in while browning. I just wish he had more videos. The cuisine of Louisiana is so unique and learning from someone like Prudhomme or John Folse is definitely a treat!!!
