Review

While the dogs and 'gators rest, the surf from the Gulf fades into another lazy day. Zydeco moon. Creole sun. Crawfish etouffee and gumbo. Heaven on earth. This is Favre Country. (From the back cover )

From our family to yours. (The Favres )

I have had the good fortune of being at some of the Favre cookouts and events they gave hosted the past couple of years. My wife and I have always loved the food - the Favre's have always put on a terrific display of food. With this book we have now been able to cook some of these meals at home. The recipes are very easy to follow and the results are truly delicious. Our favorites are Meemaw's Super Bowl Shrimp Creole, Scott's Paneed Pork Chops, and Chicken a la Clark - and those are the only ones we have tried so far! It is obvious that the Favre family has put a lot of time and effort into this book. Besides the wonderful recipes, there are terrific pictures, interesting stories, amusing Favre anecdotes, and helpful cooking tips. The book is top-notch and The Favre's should be very proud.

We highly recommend this book. Bon Apetite...

Did ya say Laissez les bons teps rouler ?? ( Let the good times roll ) The Favre family is sharing a little of what makes them unique. Great down-home cookin' comes through with the Favre family and friends unique zest for life. The entire book is seasoned with humor and keeps you entertained - even when not planning that special food for game day parties.

Even though the Packers aren't the greatest team in the world, their quarterback knows a thing or two about good gulf coast cooking. The easy to follow recipes have turned out great results with little effort. Try the gumbo, it's the bomb!
