Classic Cajun modified to be meat-, dairy-, and egg-free 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

Although this book is already eight years old, it is a new favorite to me since I just bought it. Being a vegetarian, until I found this book, my experience with Cajun cooking has been limited to an occasional Red Beans and Rice. Now I am happily preparing Jambalaya, Courtbollion,and Gumbos that are vegan and low in fat.

Never having been pleased before with recipes for vegan cakes, I have to caution the reader that I haven't ventured into the dessert section at the back of the book. Some vegans may find the use of honey as a sweetener a problem and want to make substitutions.

The breakfasts, main dish and side dish recipes are wonderful, and have given me the courage to read non-vegetarian Cajun recipes with an eye as to how to adapt them to my diet.

Neither imaginative nor attractive. 1 out of 5 stars.

This book was a great disappointment. Anyone interested in vegetarian cooking who simply loves cookbooks would be better off purchasing a more thorough volume and simply adapting the recipes by removing the meat and making substitutes.

Editorial Review:

The wonderful flavors and spices of Cajun cooking are now available to vegetarians. Donna Simon shows us how to make delicious vegetarian versions of File Gumbo, Boulettes, Red Beans and Rice, Blackened Tofu and much, much more.

Wonderful old style cooking 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 11 people found this review helpful.

This is not my first time owning this book. I am actually replacing the edition my Grandmother gave me in 1988. I loaned it to someone about 3 years ago and she still hesitates to tell me when I will get it back. I don't like the fact that I haven't gotten it back but I understand why I haven't

"Cane River Cuisine" is a wonderful collection of time tested recipes by local Louisana cooks. The recipes are interesting, relatively easy to prepare and for the most part, appealing to a variety of tastes. In my opinion, it is a good cross section of Louisana cooking styles, ingredients and tastes. I say this because some of my family members come from Baton Rouge and New Orleans so I have some experience with Louisana cooking styles.

My favorite recipe in this book is the meat pies featured on the first page. The pies remind me of the ones my mother made when I was a kid. They are meaty, spicy and the crust is flaky and tender. I have served them as a main course and made smaller versions to serve as appetizers for parties. They have turned out wonderfully every time.

I have enjoyed cooking from this book. However, some people who shy away from "comfort foods" might be put off by the types of oils, cooking methods (frying) and high calorie ingredients in some of the recipes. Restraint is all though. Eating these foods (or any food) in moderation is the key maintaining one's health while enjoying some really good eats.

The book has everything you will need to cook a down home Southern meal from clever appetizers to rich, delicious deserts.

Enjoy it!

Gluten free and "big easy" 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 12 people found this review helpful.

This book is a keeper! The directions are easy to follow and the results delicious. I've tried many of the recipes and they are all indistinguisable from gluten filled--even the beignets! They taste just like the ones at Cafe du Monde from my pre-diagnosis days. My family and company are surprised when they realize that I am eating the same foods they are. Do try this book.

Happy Down South 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

We down south love tomatoes, and the baked tomatoes with cornbread crumbs are some of the best I have ever tried. They not only taste delicious, but the recipe is soooo easy. This lady really knows how to cook southern style.

If you like cajun, this is the book to buy. The jambalaya is very easy and feeds a crowd in a hurry. The crawfish pie is a little taste of heaven from down Louisiana way.

YOU NEED THIS BOOK!

Editorial Review:

Cajun and Southern Gluten-Free Delights is a wheat-free, gluten-free recipe book. Many people think that Cajun food is always "spicy-hot", but this is incorrect. Traditional Cajun food is full of spices and seasonings, but you add the hot when the dish is served. "Cajun and Southern Gluten-Free Delights" is a traditional Cajun cookbook. The recipes were thoroughly tested by many people for ease of preparation and taste before publication. The recipes recieved high marks in both of these areas. "Cajun and Southern Gluten-Free Delights" is authored by a Southerner who has true Cajun roots.

Good Authentic New Orleans Recipes 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

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 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

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!!

Editorial Review:

Smitten by a love of hot peppers, journalist Richard Schweid traveled to the capital of the U.S. hot sauce industry, New Iberia, Louisiana. This is Cajun country, and capsicum (as hot peppers are known botanically) thrive in the region's salty, oil-rich soil like nowhere else. At once an entertaining exploration of the history and folklore that surround hot peppers and a fascinating look at the industry built around the fiery crop, Schweid's book also offers a sympathetic portrait of a culture and a people in the midst of economic and social change.

This edition of Hot Peppers has been thoroughly updated and includes some twenty-five recipes for such deliciously spicy dishes as crawfish ŽtouffŽe, jambalaya, and okra shrimp gumbo.

authoritative insight into regional USA cuisine 4 out of 5 stars.
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.

The "how to" pages will help the reader pass oneself off in NOLA as a local; the recipes are obviously authentic, easy to follow, and bring back fond memories of my college days at Tulane and "Crayola" in the early seventies. I learned how to cook in New Orleans. I studied the menus of the local restaurants, (Etienne's on Maple St) and this book is a god-send. Jaeger far surpasses some upstart transplant from New Jersey. Ten Speed Press should be complimented for bring such unknown, but important insights into our country's local cuisines.
