(Publisher’s Description) Dixieland jazz floating on a sultry breeze, inviting courtyards veiled behind Spanish moss, and above all, a cuisine as marvelously rich and varied as the inhabitants themselves: New Orleans is truly a city like no other. From the mouth of the Mississippi River comes a melting pot cuisine inspired by the bounty of the surrounding bayous. Cajun and Creole cooks spice up an array of regional specialties, from beignets to etouffees, and every festival-including Mardi Gras-comes with its own set of must-try dishes. From neighborhood institutions dishing up platters of seafood to historic hangouts like Galatoire’s, an abundance of restaurants, cafes, markets, and bars satisfies local appetite for good food and good times. On top of having some awesome recipes, this would be a great coffee table book or kitchen island book to have on display. #hardcover#nonfiction#neworleans#southern#cooking#cookbooks
