A Taste of New Orleans 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

Galatoires, as Burton and Holditch portray it, is a microcosm of New Orleans traditions reflected in the history of the Galatoire family, the loyal generations of staff, food tastes as they have evolved, and the eccentric, and sometimes famous, patrons throughout the years who have made the restaurant so successful. The layout with photographs and numerous anecdotes convey the vitality of this venerable institution. We even tried some of the recipes and created a little bit of Galatoire heaven in our own kitchen. The many facets of this book will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers. Whoever thought anyone could portray the life of a restaurant so vividly on the printed page!

Editorial Review:

In the early nineties, friends Daniel Abel, Charles Leary, and Vaughn Perret noticed something significant about Louisiana’s culinary landscape: the many of the indigenous foods and techniques that had once been so integral to Cajun and Creole cooking had vanished. Fueled by their appreciation for Old-World French farming and cooking styles, as well as New World native products, the three founded the renowned Chicory Farm and Chicory Farm Café. Their distinctive cheeses, mushrooms, and organic produce were soon featured in the best New Orleans restaurants, and brought about a renaissance in small farms and local produce.

Continuing their search for the roots of Cajun/Creole cuisine, in 1996 the trio traveled to an area in Nova Scotia originally known as Acadia, where French settlers early in the seventeenth century founded North America’s first culinary society: the Order of Good Cheer. When expelled by the British in the eighteenth century, these French Acadians moved to Louisiana, where they were called Cajuns.
Out of the three partners’ trip came the idea for a center for food learning that would also be a vacation destination. Trout Point Lodge, a cooking school and resort located in the spectacular beauty of the Nova Scotia wilderness, was born. Called “extraordinary” by Food & Wine magazine, Trout Point has become one of the premier culinary destinations in North America.

The Trout Point Lodge Cookbook explores the fascinating merging of the Creole, Cajun, and Acadian cuisines–what the authors call New World Creole. Cooking with the most diverse, healthful, and fresh ingredients, the authors present original and enticing dishes tailored for the home cook. Here you’ll find recipes for Wild Mushroom Pâté, Finnan Haddie Jambalaya, Cashew Chili, Lime-Grilled Cattail Root, Sesame and Dill—Encrusted Haddock, and Blueberry Bread Pudding.
Historical and cultural tidbits, useful sidebars, and unique cooking tips–such as how to forage safely for wild mushrooms and how to smoke fish–complement the delicious culinary creations within these pages. Beautifully illustrated with photographs of the amazing dishes, the dramatic wilderness, and the stunning lodge itself, this unique and inspiring cookbook brings a new cuisine–New World Creole–to the table.

YUMMY!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Southern cooking is more than pork fat and collards (though these are good things). Southern cooking is--like any other important cuisine--making the most out of nature's bounty. Damon Lee Fowler knows that. He takes the natural abundance of Southern gardens and creates (or in many cases) recreates recipes that make eating your vegetables the best part of the meal.

If you grew up in the South and/or (like me) had a Southern mother or grandmother who cooked lots of seasonal vegetables. This book is chock full of recipes and memories.

I have tried about 2/3 of the recipes so far and I haven't found one that I disliked.

Editorial Review:

Think of Southern fruits and vegetables, and tomatoes, corn, okra, and watermelon come to mind.  But what about grapefruits, oranges, and key limes from Florida? Or peas, beans, and greens from the fields of Mississippi? Damon Fowler, who is passionate about preserving Southern culinary traditions, offers recipes for transforming Vidalia onions, sun-ripened tomatoes, field peas, butterbeans, okra, Georgia peaches, plump figs, watermelons, key limes, and Florida citrus into the fruit and vegetable glories of the Southern table.

Cajun Delights 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 5 people found this review helpful.

In a city where eating is a main attraction, New Orleans cuisine is as distinctive as it is succulent. A Little New Orleans Cookbook charmingly showcases some of the Big Easy's most beloved recipes. With every turn of the page you can almost witness the teeming city coming to life: streetcars clacking along the streets, the garish coronets of a passing funeral procession marching sedately along the Rue, and the tantalizing scent of chicory laced coffee and beignets wafting from the cafes. A Little New Orleans Cookbook is richly steeped in the fabulous heritage and exotic grace of New Orleans taste.

Editorial Review:

The elegance and exuberance of New Orleans is reflected in this delightful collection of recipes for the Crescent City's traditional dishes. Over the centuries, Native American, French, African, and European influences have combined to produce a distinctive and flavorful cuisine. From French Market Doughnuts, Turtle soup, and Crawfish Pie to Oysters Rockefeller, Shrimp Stuffed with Crab Meat Imperial, and Butter Pralines, the recipes in this strikingly illustrated volume are a tribute to New Orlean's extraordinary culinary traditions.
