In New Orleans, it's often been said that people don't eat to live; they
live to eat. Famous for its culinary delights and the pride it takes in
its diverse cooking heritage, this is a city of food and a city for food
lovers. So, it makes perfect sense that New Orleanians, known for living
in and savoring the moment, would glean such a multitude of delicious
recipes enjoyed at thousands of dinner tables each night. In addition to
dishes from today's best chefs, Wohl has added classic restaurants and
establishments no longer with us. The inclusion of these establishments
demonstrates how influential they have been and how favorite recipes
continue to permeate today's menus, not only in New Orleans, but
throughout the country. This gorgeously photographed book celebrates the
city's renowned seafood and shares how to make these great recipes. The
45 recipes compiled feature signature dishes, accompanied by history,
stories, and photographs to make cooking New Orleans-style just what
dining New Orleans-style has always been-an unforgettable, unmatchable
experience.
