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.

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.

This is a great book. I has lots of good ideas for picking up the flavor in foods. I don't put as much of the hot spices as it calls for,it is tooo hot for me. My family does love the recipes however. Toned down.

The "fire-roasted garlic soup" recipe in this book is the perfect cure for any cold. Plus, it's the best-tasting soup I have ever, ever eaten. It is worth buying the book just to have that recipe, because you will never be sick again. Or, at least, you will enjoy being sick, because it is an excuse to eat this soup.

The food here is simply the best I have ever eaten. You must go to cheppaul.com to get the the special chili powders.... These recipes are almost an adequate replacement for sex........ They are that good..... The Chicken with Oyster mushrooms is out of this world.

Another great Prudhomme cookbook.Be sure and try the Scallop and Lemon Grass Soup. It's wonderful. Hot and Sour Shrimp beats any I've ever tried. Thu's Wonderful Soup, it's a spicy sensational soup. Sure to satisfy the spice lover in you. Our family loves spicy dishes, this book is a must have. Be sure to add it to your collection while it's still available. Like most Prudhomme cookbooks our family has two of each. We enjoy them each immensley. Amazon offers them at great prices making that second copy more reasonable.
