I do love a good cookbook. The history for this one is amazing, it's southern and has been reprinted over 80 times, first printed in 1959! Many other editions followed, I don't have them yet but will try to find them used in the future. One recipe I remember as a kid was Sugar Steak, and there is a special section in the back about men cooking and their recipes, what a hoot! Who doesn't love a man that can cook? ( )

If you're looking for simple to prepare Louisiana Creole recipes, this is the book. This is a very popular book in southeastern Louisiana, passed down from mother to daughter, and that says it all. Now, about that red beans and rice.... ( )

This is a must have for anyone from Louisiana who loves home cooking. The recipes are excellent and authentic. This is a staple in my and my mother’s house. ( )

This is the one cookbook that anyone who wants Creole or Cajun cuisine should get. It's on every good cook's shelf! There are many good Cajun and Creole cookbooks, but this is the gold standard.
