Comments from a new Louisianan

Comments from a new Louisianan,

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.

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.
