The Picayune's Creole Cookbook

Rating:
Summary: Historical insight into Creole life one hundred years ago
Review: And hysterical if you're reading how to skin the squirrel before you cook it! A fantastic book with authentic Louisiana recipes originally published in 1947. Adapt those recipes that call for cooking on the hearth or for large quantities -- the jumbalaya would feed an army. Great food history as well as great food.

Review: As stated on the inside jacket, the book dates back nearly 100 years; started in 1900. The information and idiosyncracies of the local dialect are treasures alone. The recipes' collection is unrivaled. Must reading for any cuisine historian.
