Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

If, as some anthropologists maintain, every culture possesses an identifiable cuisine, Cajuns are well on their way towards fulfilling that requirement. Cajun cuisine is among America's most famous, but least understood cooking styles. This cookbook serves as a tutorial with benefits, providing not only a kitchen-centered course on Cajun culture but also more than 100 authentic Cajun recipes. And the fixings are unforgettable: for example, sample Stuffed Pork Loin, Sweet Potato en Brochette, Baked Ducks Landry, or Tried-and-True Pecan Pie. Worth a second helping.
