The Creole Cookbook

"The setting and the home of Creole cooking is southern Louisiana -- lovely, romantic region where the Mississippi lingers in a thousand bayous before completing the rendezvous with the sea. . . The mother of Creole cooking is French, its father Spanish, and in the rearing of the prodigy it is possible to discern the tutelage of Indians and the vivid, magic touch of Africans, whose lively genius was expended in the kitchen. . . this book offers you easy passage to the magic art of Creole cooking."
