By	Gordon([e-mail]) (Tennessee, USA) - See all my reviews

There are alot of easy recipes in this book, I have tried many of them. Down home food no matter where your home is. It is not only easy to follow but there are candid stories about how some of the recipes came about. This one stays on the counter.

Paul Prudhomme makes good food and with this book, you can make good food too. I love regional cookbooks that provide the history or the story behind the recipe and this book delivers. The recipes are simple and easy to follow. I wish there were more photgraphs.

I've had this book for a while and I will never part with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pure Prudhomme, December 6, 2008

By	P. Fiorino (Arlington, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book adapts some of Chef Paul's most popular recipes to use his seasoning blends instead of individual herbs and spices. Many of the recipes start with a stick of butter but that's cajun cooking for you. If you already have Louisiana Kitchen, this book may be a bit redundant. But its compact size makes it easier to use in the kitchen. It also contains some background information and general advice beyond the recipes themselves. If you want to own only one cajun cookbook, this is a great one to have.
