Summary: Some of the best food you will ever eat
Review: I grew up just outside of Baton Rouge, so I know what "authentic Cajun food" is supposed to be. The recipes in here are a compilation of recipe books my mother used: River Road Recipes (I & II), Tiger Bait, Jambalaya, Talk About Good, and a bunch of others (hence the name...Best of the Best). Most of the recipes are pretty straight-forward and easy (though occasionally time-consuming). My wife and I both love to cook, and when she lets me cook, this is the first book I pull down. Be sure to try the "Jambalaya Bread Pudding" recipe (from the cookbook titled "Jambalaya"). Every time I bake it, I get asked for the recipe.
