5.0 out of 5 stars Cajun Cookbook Bible, September 16, 2001

By	apoem "apoem" (Bosque Farms, NM USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I LOVE this cookbook. Out of all the cookbooks I have collected, many of them claiming to be cajun cookbooks- this is the one I turn to when I want to cook something uniquely Louisiana.

The recipes are easy to follow and the results are wonderful. I have not had one recipe I have tried fail.

I only wish I lived in Louisiana where I would be able to get fresh shrimp and crab and tasso and andouille and on and on.

However, barring that, these are wonderful recipes. I particularly like the recipe for benets. Yum.

5.0 out of 5 stars What I grew up on, August 25, 2003

By	FlygURL "FlygURL" (Lawrenceville, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This is the first cookbook that I remember my Mom cooking from. It is what I first learned to cook from. While our cookbook collection now spans to well over 100 cookbooks, some for cooking, some for reading for ideas, both my husband and I reach for this book frequently.

WOuld not recommend Talk About Good II, however.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cajun Cook's Bible, December 8, 2000

By A Customer

Anyone, Cajun or not who attempts to cook Cajun food should own this book. Forget Emeril, Paul Prudhomme and Justin Wilson. This is a cookbook for Cajuns by real cajuns which has been a standard in the kitchens of Acadiana for decades.
