""If you want an introduction to New Orleans flavors that gives you a sampling of the most popular dishes, this is a good option. The recipes are easy to follow and it's a conveniently sized paperback book so you don't have to worry about getting your phone/tablet/device dirty while cooking from it!"" -- Amazon customer ""This book is an excellent source of information on Cajun/Creole cooking for people like me who know little or nothing about it. It includes cultural, historical, and current information that serves the reader very well. I love the information in towards the back of the book for online ordering and the history of the famous bars and restaurants is invaluable."" -- Amazon customer ""This is a cookbook written with care and great detail and love for New Orleans cuisine.
