Product Description
Country cooking at its best! Everyone’s favorite Cajun, Justin Wilson, has cooked up a collection of mouth-watering temptations in Justin Wilson’s Outdoor Cooking With Inside Help.

Many of the recipes featured can be seen demonstrated on Justin’s PBS show, "Justin Wilson’s Louisiana Cookin’—Outdoors."

With the aid of a barbecue grill and a "Cajun microwave" (a large cypress oven), you’ll be cooking like a Cajun and impressing friends and family with your skills. Fifty color photographs show Justin’s delicious dishes in various stages of preparation.

Justin Wilson is internationally known as a Cajun cook and humorist. He is a veteran of both writing cookbooks and preparing his dishes on his public broadcasting television programs for people across the country to enjoy.

About the Author
Justin Wilson wears many hats in addition to his chef’s hat. In fact, he doesn’t even wear a chef’s hat because he doesn’t consider himself a chef. He is the first to say that he is Cajun cook—not a chef. He is a humorist—not a comedian—who has appeared on television programs across the country, including The Tonight Show.

When not cooking, Justin may wear a hard hat, since for many years he worked as a safety engineer. He also wears the hat of a storyteller and weaves his stories into his books and his cooking shows aired on Public Broadcasting Systems throughout the country. Justin also wears the hats of raconteur extraordinaire and goodwill ambassador of the Cajun people of Louisiana.

Justin Wilson learned much of what he knows about cooking from his mother. He took that knowledge, developed his personal cooking style, and helped to pioneer the Cajun cuisine that caught the country by storm when he appeared at the ABA in 1974.

If you like Fried turkey, "dirty rice" and a host of other great cajun delights. This is the cookbook for you. Many laughs are tucked away in each page as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lighten up, it's just food, October 23, 2001

By	J. P. McKay "Paul McKay" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I think it says something that the bad review above is from LA and the good one from Houston. This is Louisianna country cooking at it's finest and it is supposed to be salty and spicy and the cajun tales, just like my grandfather used to tell while working the grill out back, are an integral part of the experience. Anyhow, I grew up with this cookbook in the house and recommend it to one and all.

All of the recipes I have sampled from this book (as all of Justin Wilson's books) have been very good to excellent.
