All I want to do is go home and cook everything in here.”—John Currence, Chef/Owner of City Grocery and author of Big Bad Breakfast “Comprehensive and inventive cookbooks like this one don’t come along very often. The New Orleans Kitchen has become my go-to for bringing the flavors and smells of this glorious cuisine into my home.”—Sean Brock, chef and author of Heritage Praise for Justin Devillier: ""Devillier's cooking manages to be both sleek and wholesome, showcasing vegetables as well as it does veal sweetbreads, and favoring technique and taste equally.""—The Times-Picayune "
