How I learned how to cook rice !!! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My grandmother and mother were great cooks but the children were never allowed in the kitchen, until all stoves were cooled down and knives cleaned and put away. Imagine when I got married and didn't have a clue...My first attempt at cooking red beans ended when I was using a potato masher on the beans,(after an hour),to make them thicken some?
Well the rice was even worse, and butter didn't help at all. I couldn't get in touch with my mom and my mother-in-law could only laugh hysterically.
Somewhere I found the "Mrs Simms Fun Cooking Guide". ('68 version...in '74). "BLUSHING RICE"...perfect first time...and still is 33 years later. "ROASTBEEF SUPREME"...every Sunday, and guess what? My mom askes every time, "How do you make this?" (I'm not telling, it's the mustard).
Raising and feeding nine children and having numerous dinner parties, I have never gone wrong as long as my dishes come from this incredible, yet simple cookbook. So easy... so delicious. Always. No matter how low key or high falutin', it is always a winning dish, whatever you choose to serve. JUST STICK TO "THE" RECIPE MRS SIMMS WROTE. Don't add tobasco, or Tony's to the pot,(add it to yours if you wish). Don't tamper with perfection.
MY original book is so very worn, mostly pages 31 (Roast Beef Supreme....drool, and the gravy, oh..) pg. 32 (who would know what Swiss Steak,out of round steak, could possibly end up like this?), pg. 34 (Chicken Okra Gumbo, need I say more?), pg.47(Smothered Ham and Cabbage, if you hated cabbage, you won't anymore ), pg. 38 (Smothered Pork Chops)...omg!, and thank God for mrs Simms' Blushing Rice to go with it, page 72 in the '68 book....
For me it all started with my simple question of "How do I cook rice?". And I have tested and tasted it MANY ways. The only way, in my opinion, is the Blushing Way, Mrs Simms Way....
I hit this site looking for originals, or new, for my children...(9)...
I plan on keeping my original.

Editorial Review:

The "Bayou Plantation Country Cookbook" offers a historical and culinary tour of the plantations in the scenic bayou country of Louisiana and the surrounding areas. In addition to the over 100 local recipes offered, there are descriptions and vintage photographs of the people who inhabited the area as well as stories of current bayou chef celebrities and their specialties.

From the Italian and German immigrants to the plantation slave cooks, from the classic cuisine of the French aristocrats to the ingenious dishes of the Acadian deportees who learned to make a tasty meal using next to nothing, the "Bayou Plantation Country Cookbook" celebrates Louisiana’s diverse cultural and culinary heritage. Recipes range from crabmeat mousse, alligator chili, and seafood okra gumbo to Italian fig cookies and artichoke-stuffed chicken breasts.

Editorial Review:

A heartfelt sharing of personal stories and great Cajun comfort-food recipes. Together, they will touch your heart, warm your soul, and fill your belly.

When Craig J. McKneely was born in a Catholic hospital in New Roads, Louisiana, the nun assisting with his birth told his mother, "You had fun putting him there, now have fun getting him out!" His has been a life of laughter and struggle ever since. McKneely shares much of what he learned along the way in his new book. This collection of recipes and life learnings is as unique as you'll ever find.
