Frank Davis Cooks Cajun, Creole, and Crescent City

By Frank Davis

Book Overview

From the host of Naturally N'awlins, a collection of recipes from the author's homemade recipes, with adaptions for healthy eating.

From the Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Frank of cooking New Orleans style, a new cookbook containing, "all the old and new ethnic, down-home, make-you-slap-your-momma-twice recipes I couldn't squeeze into the last two cookbooks."

Fried dishes, grillades, rice dishes, gumbos, game dishes, etouff es, and simmered dishes--there isn't much left out of Frank Davis Cooks Cajun, Creole, and Crescent City. Frank Davis serves up all new seafood recipes plus variations on the Cajun Creole canon of cooking. What makes each recipe so unique is the precise, stand-by-your-side, humorous writing style Davis adds to each page.

Davis pulls out some of his best homespun creations for this book, like N'Awlins Pickled Onions, Old New Orleans Vanilla Ice Cream, Spicy N'Awlins Fried Ribs, and Cajun Deep-Fried Breast of Turkey. From these names, one might assume that this book's recipes are high in calories and unhealthy, but they aren't at all, and that's what sets this cookbook apart from the rest. Davis adds a wealth of nutritional information and serving tips that make it possible to cook and eat the hearty local cuisine without taking on any weight.

"A real indispensable New Orleans cooking companion, built on a foundation of knowledge, wit, and native know-how. Naturally a four-beaner " --Randy Buck, executive chef, New Orleans Fairmont Hotel

Awsome N'Awlins Cooking

Being close to New Orleans, I have seen the author on local cooking shows. The Shrimp and Okra Gumbo in this book is one of the best ever..when I prepare it, as I do every year at Christmas, everyone wants the recipe. The other recipes are just as good..
