Customer Reviews

By FAR the best!

As a native New Orleanian, I have always loved to cook. Most of the recipes I make are ones that have been passed on to me by friends from their families in the South. I received "Cotton Country" from a friend as a present and can honestly say that it is the best cookbook I know for those of us who love to cook recipes that are tried and true and really capture the way that great cooks in the South cook. The recipes are delicious, authentic and worth passing on. The very minute you get this cookbook, make the remoulade sauce, pour it over some boiled, peeled shrimp and imagine a Sunday afternoon at Galatoire's!Enjoy!

A treasured find!

I bought my first copy of this book back in the early 80s. I bought my second copy of this book about a year ago. This is a must have if you like community cookbooks. The books is laid our well, and has a great deal of recipes. Many recipes are cajun style that we would come to expect from Lousianna. The book also contains a great many of other great recipes that we would eat everyday. This is a book I turn to when I want to bring something extra special to a potluck.

A favorite cookbook in my collection

I purchased this book while living in Monroe back in 1973. My first cookbook and my most favorite kitchen companion. I have taken it with me to all the places we have lived the world round. I have to purchase a new edition since the first one is pretty worn out. However I plan to transfer all my notation to the new book and to the new ones I will purchase for the use of my four children.
