When I say that this cookbook is one of my favorites, topped only by Talk About Good, that is saying a lot. I have found myself pulling this off of my mother's shelves after she has 'borrowed it'.

When I got this as a gift from my Sister In Law, I didn't know what a treat I was in for. Thank you!

The recipes are fairly easy to prepare and the results turn out great meals.

My only issue with any cajun cooking is that it sometimes calls for those Louisiana type of ingredients that are hard to get anywhere else but Louisiana (tasso for example!)

Having lived in New Orleans for 8 years, I acquired a taste for the unbelievable food there. In 1988, I moved away and some of the most important items to pack were my copies of the River Road cookbooks. I have just discovered my son has "borrowed" my Second Helping cookbook only to inform me it is his now. I now find myself having to reorder it as it contains so many easy to prepare and outstanding recipes. Congratulations to your contributors for a job well done.

I got this cookbook as a gift, and so far the recipes have been easy to follow! My family loves the Banana Nut Bread on page 58 any time of the day. I was afraid the recipes would all be too spicy, but they were yummy! I am going out to buy River Roads Recipes III this week.

This book has become a staple for my at home daily cooking. The Breakfast Casserole and the Lemon Squares are particularly good. This cookbook will serve as an outstanding guide for anyone who is intersted in adding the delicious flavor of Louisiana cuisine to their everyday meals!

Every recipe we have tried from this book has been a huge hit! The recipes are so easy to follow. My husband loves cooking from it and learned about making his rue! My mom let me borrow this book from her and I told her I was keeping it. She has let me have so many other recipe books but she wouldn't let me keep this one! So I hurriedly bought my own so I could return hers.

I don't have the 1st one yet but am going to buy it today.

My used cookbook was in excellent condition. The term "used" doesn't seem to fit because it appeared to be brand new. But I get how maybe legally it has to be stated as such because technically it's not a new sale. Anyhoo, I am more than pleased with my purchase and the condition of my "used" book. Now that I have had my first experience with this company and now know I can trust their evaluation of the conditions of their books to be accurate and fair I would most certainly continue to make future purchases from them. Spread the word!!

I am delighted with this book -- fine condition, great price and prompt delivery. It is exactly as described.
I would be pleased to deal with this merchant in the future.

After coveting my mother's copy for years, I decided to break down and buy my own, and I'm glad I did.
