Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Fiery, says Louisiana's most famous contributor to the culinary arts, means emotion and several levels of taste, not simply hot, spicy foods. Here he strays a bit from the southern, Cajun, and Creole ways of cooking to incorporate other seasonings and ingredients into the stew; but certain foodstuffs remain the same, such as his devotion to calorie-laden sauces, butter, caramelization, and all things rich and forbidden. Expect requests hot and heavy. Barbara Jacobs

4.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Seasoned America, black beans and more chiles, November 11, 1998

By 

Garreth J. Lynch - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fiery Foods That I Love (Hardcover)

Chef Paul flatly states that he wants to make my dinner better. He has, again. From devilishly (satanically) seasoned black beans to the "best damned grilled chicken I ever ate," Paul Prudhomme offers emotional recipes, "ladles of love," that you've made before, but that have never tasted like this. Each Chef Paul Favorite was quickly one of my favorites too. His "fast food" version of stuffed cabbage makes me smile in that it's as tasty as any of the versions in different cultures, but it's on the table in an hour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best cookbook I own, so worn I'm here buying a new one., February 17, 2000

By 

JOHN LAUGHLIN (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fiery Foods That I Love (Hardcover)

The recipies in this book use technique and ingredients to achieve a layering of flavors that is fantastic. I have transferred the methods to many other recipes with good results. Somtimes the spices Prudhomme calls for are hard to find in traditional supermarkets, but with the 'net and expanding availabiltiy this aspect is becomming easier to deal with. With some recipes you may want to cut the salt or heat to your preference. Buy this cookbook!

Get this book for that above mentioned receipe. Worth 5 stars for that alone. Everything else is absolutely fantastic, but the chicken...WOW! I would pay twice the price for that receipe alone.
