Great Place to Visit, Great Cookbook

This is an excellent cookbook. It is a lot of fun to read combining hisotry and cooking (two of my favorite things)! The history it tells doesn't get bogged down in dates and numbers, but rather the people and a typical home in Southern Louisiana. The cookbook is well organized. The recipes are easy to follow and the results are great. I have only good things to say about this cookbook. My only be aware comment is that most Cajun cooking requires such yummy foods as shrimp, crab, tasso etc. While some of these are available at the local grocery store, some ingredients (tasso, andouille) are only available in the South or via special order. Wonderful cookbook. Certainly this is one that will stay on my shelves and will be well used and loved.

One of the All-Time Greats

I have probably made 60 percent of the recipes in this book. They all have turned out wonderfully. P.S. It's also a fun read.

Shadows on the Teche

I want to recommend this book to anyone who loves to cook and loves history. The inserts of pictures and stories of the home makes this one great read. Also, I have recently been able to tour this home. It makes this book come to life. Visit the plantation home in New Iberia, Louisiana when you get the chance and buy this book. I bought it 2 weeks ago while visiting this wonderful home and have made many of the recipes listed. All have turned out fantastic.
