perfect take home for tourists,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Food of New Orleans: Authentic Recipes from the Big Easy (Food of the World Cookbooks) (Hardcover)
Nice photos; good for preserving memories of a visit to NOLA. Otherwise, not of much practical application.DeMers' collaboration with Jaeger on the later published "New Orleans Seafood Cookbook" is far superior. Save your money and buy the Seafood Cookbook.

I'm not from the Big Easy. Have only been there a handful of times. This cookbook has my favorite crawfish etoufe recipe.

Outstanding!,
This review is from: The Food of New Orleans Tourist Edition: Authentic Recipes from the Big Easy (Food of the World Cookbooks) (Hardcover)
I have been involved in gourment cooking for 20 years. I have many wonderful cookbooks and this one is in my top "5". The recipes are easy and the results are "high-end". For example....the bread pudding is almost as good as I have had at Arnauds. You won't be sorry...if you purchase this book.
