Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Pair the Prudhomme name with the promise of low-calorie preparations for popular Cajun recipes, and it seems a formula for success. However, the author (sister of celebrity chef Paul Prudhomme) delivers not the Cajun-inspired concoctions of her classically trained sibling but the home-cooked variety of South Louisiana cooking that she serves in her own bayou-country restaurant in the town of Carencro. While she contributes some interesting concepts to the burgeoning literature of low-fat fare, touting the "good unleaded meal," her recipes are less alluring than the sophisticated stuff of Paul. The best include a credible variety of flavorful salad dressings (green-onion dressing is particularly tangy and original) and versions of blackened catfish, spicy crawfish etouffee and shrimp creole. Unfortunately, the book is slim on preparation methods. Prudhomme's style is charmingly sincere. Advertising; author tour.

From Library Journal
Low-calorie Cajun cooking seems like a contradiction in terms, but these diet dishes are as assertive and robust as the real things. Prudhomme--Paul's sister--runs her own restaurant in rural Louisiana; when faced with dieting, she developed a low-calorie, low-cholesterol version of Cajun cuisine. Purists may blanch at some of the ingredients she has substituted for all that butter and fat, but her spicy, highly seasoned dishes provide a mouth-watering contrast to the overly genteel spa cuisine so popular now. Recommended.

This review is from: Enola Prudhomme's Low-Calorie Cajun Cooking (Spiral-bound)
Low Calorie Cajun Cooking started in Enola Prudhomme's restaurant. She had been making lower-calorie recipies there for family, but the menu contained none of them. When some patrons inquired, she tried putting one or two of them on the menu and met with great success. Today, half of the menu features these "heart smart" recipies. The crawfish etouffee is marvelous!

A clinical dietician recommended this book to me and I love it. She let me borrow it and now I am ordering it as a result. Great recipes. Really like Enola Prudhomme's introduction and how the book came to be.

Enola Prudhomme's Low Fat Cajun Cooking is not only filled with fantastic recipes. It includes nutritional information on every meal, basic cooking tips for low fat cooking, and cooking techniques for all cooks. This is a fantastic recipe book as well as a necessary reference in my home!
