Editorial Reviews

From the Author

"Dis is so easy to cook and it tastes so good, you are going to think somebody lied to you about how good it is, I garontee." --Justin Wilson

From the Inside Flap

Easy to cook, easy to eat. That is Justin Wilson's philosophy. Sitting at the table instead of standing in the kitchen during a meal is every cook's goal, and with these dishes, even serious chefs will be spending more time with friends and family, garonteed! For parties, picnics, or everyday occasions, Wilson includes Hot Cabbage Slaw, Country Egg Salad, and Potato Salad without Potatoes. Each recipe yields between eight and twenty servings, enough to feed your family and all your neighbors. Hearty soups and stews for brisk weather, such as Turtle Stew, Red Bean Soup, and Oyster Soup, will warm your insides and keep people coming back for seconds. For barbecuers, Wilson takes you out of the kitchen to use a Cajun smoker and Cajun microwave, great for cooking a pig or turkey in any season. With all the spices used in the main course recipes, it is essential to balance those savory flavors with a touch of sweetness. Wilson rounds out the meal with easy-to-prepare recipes for cobblers, pies, and puddings. Justin Wilson was an internationally acclaimed humorist who hosted six television cooking series and authored eight other books for Pelican: The Justin Wilson Cookbook, The Justin Wilson #2 Cookbook: Cookin' Cajun, The Justin Wilson Gourmet and Gourmand Cookbook, Justin Wilson Looking Back: A Cajun Cookbook, Justin Wilson's Outdoor Cooking with Inside Help, Justin Wilson's Cajun Fables, Justin Wilson's Cajun Humor, and More Cajun Humor. A lifelong resident of Louisiana, Wilson passed away in 2001.

This review is from: Justin Wilson's Easy Cookin': 150 Rib-Tickling Recipes for Good Eating (Hardcover)

Louisiana cooking offers one of our country's most distinctive and popular regional cuisines. Perfectly capturing this culinary treasure of mouth-watering dishes, "Justin Wilson's Easy Cookin'" is a 244-page compendium of truly 'kitchen cook friendly' recipes ranging from breakfast to dinner, appetizers to deserts. Of special note is the use of flavored salts and powders, avoiding the time consuming necessity of peeling and chopping onions, celery, and garlic. From an Eggplant Appetizer, to Chicken a la Creole, to a Broccoli and Ham Casserole, to Hominy and Mushrooms, to a Peanut Butter-Blueberry Cobbler, these are gourmet quality, 'down home style', palate pleasing, appetite satisfying dishes that would grace any table for any occasion. Of special note is the chapter dedicated to sauces and featuring two different tartar sauces, three barbecue sauces (including one for diabetics), and basting sauces. Truly living up to its title, "Justin Wilson's Easy Cookin'" will prove to be a welcome and popular addition to personal and community cookbook collections alike!

1.0 out of 5 stars rib tickling, May 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Justin Wilson's Easy Cookin': 150 Rib-Tickling Recipes for Good Eating (Pbs Series) (Hardcover)

Rib Tickling and Stomach Turning. That should be the title of this book. By far the weakest link in his series of cookbooks. The recipes were bland and the stories old and silly. Not a good buy.
