Comments from a new Louisianan,
By A Customer
This review is from: Something Old & Something New: Louisiana Cooking with a Change of Heart (Hardcover)
I'm not from Louisiana originally. I've had the opportunity to browse through Cajun cookbooks while living here. This particular book, "Something Old, Something New", is quite interesting. It has a combination of great recipes-ones for those who like to use the "good old stuff" and ones for those who like to use lighter low-fat replacements. It has great stories and photgraphs of people and food. It definitely is not your typical cookbook. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have this year. Bon appetite.

Nothing You Wouldn't Have Thought Of On Your Own,
By A Customer
This review is from: Something Old & Something New: Louisiana Cooking with a Change of Heart (Hardcover)
You'd be better off buying a "classic" Louisiana cookbook and using your own judgement to lighten recipes. The book is set up with a regular recipe on the left hand page and a "healthier" version on the right hand page. In most cases the difference consists of obvious substitutions - such as lean ham in place of bacon - and simple reductions in the amount of oil or butter used. I would have given it a 1 if it weren't for the pictures and stories.
