A Dog With Star Power
"Rhonda Findley and I are the co-authors of New Orleans Unleashed. We created this book, along with the photographer, Vanessa Brown Louvier. There have been some postings giving me more credit than I'm due and suggesting that I was the sole author of the book, which is incorrect. I'd like to clarify that this was a group project. There were no stars, except for Indy the Dog. I hope you all ...

These rules "stick' and can improve anyone's writing style
John Schulz was my Dean at Boston University. After graduation, I threw out all of my binders and nearly all course materials--except my copy of Dr. Schulz's Please Don't Do That. It still sits on my desk, though I rarely need to go through it because I still remember everything from the first semester of my freshman year. Buy it, read it, and you will want to pass it out to everyone you work ...

bowl food at its best
I've made a couple of the recipes and love how they turned out.But I would warn that,in my opinion,the serving sizes are for cajuns :)

Fusion Food a la New Orleans
What a fabulous find--fusion food finally hits New Orleans. This is like no other New Orleans cookbook in my library. If you love ginger, lemon grass and healthy cuisine, you'll love cooking from this book. Not for the beginner as many of the recipes require lot's of prep. and familiarity with cooking techniques. If you are planning a dinner party or a special dinner for two, add this to your ...

A Taste of the Islands
When I received this book as a gift, I couldn't wait to read through it and start cooking. The author, John DeMers, does an excellent job of explaining the basics of Caribbean cooking including a list (with explanation) of herbs & spices, seafood, meat & poultry, fruit & vegetables most commonly found throughout the Islands. The recipes are clear, concise and can be followed by novice cooks and ...

A blend of traditional and new dishes gathered from the island's chefs and restaurants
There's always room for another Jamaican cookbook on the market. What makes Authentic Recipes From Jamaica appealing is a blend of traditional and new dishes gathered from the island's chefs and restaurants, paired with over 60 color photos shot on location. From a Smoked Marlin Salad created by James Palmer of Strawberry Hill to a variation of the classic Fricasseed Chicken created by Norma ...

A heavily dog-eared and marked up book on my shelf.
My thanks to Gordon Padwick. Integrated Office Application lifted the veil from my eyes and I finally understood how to control one MS Office application from another. It has great, practical examples of how to control Excel from Access, Access from Excel, Excel from Word, etc. Learning about CopyFromRecordset (an Excel Range method) was enough to justify purchase of this book! I grok it now.

HEAVEN
Years ago the Chicago Trib did an article on this place and I clipped it and hung it on my frig. I made several of the dishes and was intriged enough to visit NOLA. After visiting NOLA I had to visit this place. Wonderful. The book is GREAT. And the recipes are very easy to follow. Also you don't have to have HARD TO FIND spices..

Smell The Smoke
Follow the Smoke: 14,783 Miles of Great Texas Barbecue Being a native Texan and living in Tx all my life I have found this book to be a trasure for a true barbecue lover. Now you don't have to be a Texan to enjoy this wonderful book. If you have ever ventured down to Tx and experience some Texas barbecue then you will also get a kick out of this book.

The Food of New Orleans
I thought the book was a great way of taking the recipes of New Orleans home... Also try reading this book before you go out to dinner in The Quarter... The recipes seem simple enough to execute. Next to Chicago - New Orleans is the Cooking Mecca!

authoritative insight into regional USA cuisine
The "how to" pages will help the reader pass oneself off in NOLA as a local; the recipes are obviously authentic, easy to follow, and bring back fond memories of my college days at Tulane and "Crayola" in the early seventies. I learned how to cook in New Orleans. I studied the menus of the local restaurants, (Etienne's on Maple St) and this book is a god-send. Jaeger far surpasses some ...

Great, and I've read a few.
This is a very good cookbook. I own, or have read, most of the New Orleans cookbooks. This is one of the best, with creative thoughts on how to make some of the dishes lighter and more attractive. Great taste.

Missing recipe
As a native of Jamaica I knew exactly what to look for in this book. Although this book contained many wonderful recipes from my country I was dismayed to find that it did not contain the recepe for Jamaican rum cake or any kind of fruit cake recipes. This cake is a tradition in most Jamaican households during the Christmas holidays and is very popular at weddings. A Jamaican wedding is not ...

Beautiful cookbook for the more experienced or the daring!
From the tv series, this is a collection of great recipes from great chefs. I say for the more seasoned gourmet, because there is not much included on technique or buying ingredients or prep, but just the recipe and a write-up on the chef. But for the adventuresome, there is much to be said for the recipes here --- very creative stuff with vivid color photos. Examples from Jasper White, Dean ...

If you can't make it to the restaurants, this is the next best thing to being there.
