Customer Reviews

DAVIS COOKBOOK

HAVING GROWN UP IN NEW ORLEANS AND SEEING FRANK DAVIS ON TV NUMEROUS TIMES AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS ITEM AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MANY GREAT MEALS WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. VERY PLEASED WITH PRICE AND SHIPPING.

Good Authentic New Orleans Recipes

Frank Davis is well-known in the N.O. area and all of Louisiana for that matter. He has a number of cookbooks, but this is one of our favorites, and have used it for years. We made this purchase to begin restoring the cookbook collection of family members who have lost their homes in Hurricane Katrina. When I thought of the one book they would most like to have back, this is the one I immediately knew had to be on the list. It has authentic, "regular people" recipes (not high-falutin' gourmet chef recipes) that we can and do cook in our home kitchens. Frank Davis does "N'Awlins" food in a laid back, easy to duplicate style and the results are always good.

Love My Frank

This particular Frank Davis inspired me to be a better "cajun" cook and it was simple enough to understand for cajun-newbies like myself. He has responded to my emails before and is great to his fans. I would LOVE to see a new cookbook because I'm wearing this one out. The previous reviewer who gave Frank 1 star is OUT OF HIS MIND. Frank may not be originally from New Orleans but neither is Emeril Lagasse. You don't have to be born in Louisiana to be a great cook...I'm from there and it's Frank's book that helped me tremendously. BY THE WAY, THE PASTA RECIPES ARE GREAT!!! Keep writing Frank!!

Can't go wrong

This is my favorite cookbook, and I have lots. The recipes are fast, easy, and taste out of this world. Being from New Orleans, and having tasted some of the best food in the world, Frank's recipes yield the best results I've ever had. This is a book everyone should have among their collection.

Great New Orleans Cooking

I have all of Frank Davis's Cookbooks and watch him everyweek on a local TV morning show. His recipes are precise and easy to follow and the results are magnificent. All his cookbooks have typical New Orleans food and he even tells you what is good to accompany main dishes.
