Teaming with seafood, the local waters offer an abundance of ready possibilities for creative and delicious dishes. Sink your teeth into some Creole Jambalaya or Trout au Gratin. Sample mouth-watering Crab Meat Quiche or Shrimp Thermidor. Delight in a delicious char-broiled Venison Roast or Grillades and Grits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars and No Kiddin' Around!, April 9, 2001
This is the stuff. These recipes, favourites of the ladies who submitted tham, have often been handed down from mother to daughter for generations.

These are the Good Recipes.

It's all here -- recipes developed from every part of the melange of cultures that makes Louisiana so thoroughly unique. And all of them excellent.

I wore out one copy, and lost my second in a move years ago -- i've been searching for a new one, and just thought tio look on Amazon.

In my opinion, this cook book belongs in every kitchen -- right next to a copy of the (real) Joy of Cooking.

In Terry Pratchett's wonderful fantasy novel, "Witches Abroad", Nanny Ogg, one of three witches who have travelled to their world's equivalent of New Orleans, tastes a jambalaya a voodoo woman has cooked up. Up till then, we are told, she had believed herself an excellent cook. But, tasting this, she realises that all she's been doing is "...not starving as pleasantly as possible."

Well, and i'll say it here in the Real World -- until you discover the delights of the Louisiana cuisine, all you're doing is not starving as pleasantly as possible.

And this book is an excellent place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best -- Bar none!!, June 19, 2004
By Sheila Roman (Houston, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
I have had this cookbook for many years. I first purchased it back in 1977, and it is without a doubt the best in authentic Cajun cooking. My original Pirate's Pantry finally fell apart from many years of use; but, although I recently replaced it, I still have my old original stuffed into a manila envelope. I love this cookbook!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Reminds me of Home!, January 4, 1999
As a former resident of Lake Charles (now Los Angeles) I have had PLENTY of time to miss the good food that my Mom and Grandmother made for me. This is one of the best ways to make up for not having them around!

Many of the best home-tested recipes for some of the most basic and well-loved cajun and creole dishes are here, waiting for you to discover them. I especially love the Etouffee and the hush puppies! A must for ANYONE interested in Southern cooking.
