Fun, Funky and Fabulous: New Orleans' Casual Restaurant Recipes

by Jyl Benson

Book Overview

"The best thing about the cuisine of New Orleans is that it is alive. And because it is alive, it is always changing... And the exciting consequence of our willingness to change is that our cuisine remains fresh and reflective of our present. Our food always was and it remains, fun, funky, and fabulous, not to mention delicious, inventive, and unique. ... This] book would make a handy guide to local neighborhoods and where to eat in each of them, besides being a great cookbook full of recipes that can actually be made in the home kitchen."
--From the introduction by Liz Williams, executive director and a founder of the Southern Food and Beverage Museum
