Swamp Cookin' With The River People: Untamed Recipes

By Dana Holyfield

Book Overview

If you relished the cookbook entitled "White Trash Cooking," then you are bound to find delight in "Swamp Cooking with the River People." This unique volume serves as a cookbook, a narrative, and a photographic journal all rolled into one. Within its pages, a plethora of images offers a captivating glimpse into the off-grid river life nestled in the heart of Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp. Additionally, you will discover the amusing tale of the Reunion of Gator and LouAnn, an exhilarating alligator rodeo, and the Elks Lodge Double Wedding, among other engaging narratives.
It is worth noting that one of the stars from the "Swamp People" television series makes an appearance in this cookbook as well, since the original edition was published many years prior to the airing of the shows featuring swamp dwellers capturing alligators. In a rather amusing turn of events, a casting agent from the popular TV show reached out to me from New York City after viewing my Swamp Cooking videos online, inquiring if I knew anyone capable of catching alligators. Laughably, I directed them to my then-husband, whom I confidently assured could capture a sizable alligator with his bare hands. Subsequently, the producers traveled to Louisiana to meet him, ultimately casting him in Season 10, where he has appeared intermittently ever since.
This revised edition of Swamp Cooking has undergone enhancements since its original release, boasting an abundance of additional photographs. It serves as an exceptional gift for cookbook aficionados, a delightful addition to your coffee table for leisurely reading, or a captivating conversation starter. Furthermore, if you are an avid fisherman or an outdoor enthusiast, you are certain to appreciate the recipes contained within as well
