Book excerpt: Louisiana restaurants serve a delicious indigenous American cuisine that has recently gained considerable national recognition. Cajun cooking, which originated in South Louisiana's bayou country, is hot and spicy and relies on easy-to-acquire ingredients. Creole food has a more citified style and developed in the Creole kitchens of New Orleans. Restaurants in Louisiana have developed a style of their own, at times combining Cajun and Creole influences to produce "Louisiana Cooking," a truly original cuisine that relies on spicy sauces, fresh produce and seafood, and thick gravies. The recipes in Chefs' Secrets from Great Restaurants in Louisiana come from famous New Orleans restaurants as well as from carefully tucked-away country restaurants. You'll learn the secrets of chefs from New Orleans' exclusive Commander's Palace, popular K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen, and Antoine's, one of New Orleans' oldest, most celebrated restaurants. Also included are recipes from Cafe Rani in Covington, Don's Seafood in Lafayette, and The Oaks Plantation Restaurant, hidden on old River Road in Destrehan. Try Creole Seafood Okra Gumbo from New Orleans' famous Gumbo Shop, the Chicken Bienville from Bienville's Courtyard, and K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen's own recipe for their unique Chicken and Tasso Jambalaya. For the more adventurous, there's Alligator Sauce Piquante from the Royal Restaurant and Pub in Jennings, and Le Lapin en Matelote (Rabbit Stew with Red Wine) from Begue's. And of course, who could resist the trout and shrimp dishes? Try Shrimp Chippewa from Mr. B's, fillet of Trout Bayou Style from Sazerac, and Trout Meuniere from Ralph and Kacoo's. Dessert offerings include Bread Pudding with Whisky Sauce from the Bon Ton Cafe, and a delicious Almond Torte from Stephen and Martin. Once Louisiana's chefs have let you in to their confidence, you're bound to spread the word.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here for the first time, the famous food of Louisiana is presented in a cookbook written by a great creative chef who is himself world-famous. The extraordinary Cajun and Creole cooking of South Louisiana has roots going back over two hundred years, and today it is the one really vital, growing regional cuisine in America. No one is more responsible than Paul Prudhomme for preserving and expanding the Louisiana tradition, which he inherited from his own Cajun background. Chef Prudhomme's incredibly good food has brought people from all over America and the world to his restaurant, K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen, in New Orleans. To set down his recipes for home cooks, however, he did not work in the restaurant. In a small test kitchen, equipped with a home-size stove and utensils normal for a home kitchen, he retested every recipe two and three times to get exactly the results he wanted. Logical though this is, it was an unprecedented way for a chef to write a cookbook. But Paul Prudhomme started cooking in his mother's kitchen when he was a youngster. To him, the difference between home and restaurant procedures is obvious and had to be taken into account. So here, in explicit detail, are recipes for the great traditional dishes--gumbos and jambalayas, Shrimp Creole, Turtle Soup, Cajun "Popcorn," Crawfish Etouffee, Pecan Pie, and dozens more--each refined by the skill and genius of Chef Prudhomme so that they are at once authentic and modern in their methods. Chef Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen is also full of surprises, for he is unique in the way he has enlarged the repertoire of Cajun and Creole food, creating new dishes and variations within the old traditions. Seafood Stuffed Zucchini with Seafood Cream Sauce, Panted Chicken and Fettucini, Veal and Oyster Crepes, Artichoke Prudhomme--these and many others are newly conceived recipes, but they could have been created only by a Louisiana cook. The most famous of Paul Prudhomme's original recipes is Blackened Redfish, a daringly simple dish of fiery Cajun flavor that is often singled out by food writers as an example of the best of new American regional cooking. For Louisianians and for cooks everywhere in the country, this is the most exciting cookbook to be published in many years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern instructional with 120 recipes for classic New Orleans cooking, from James Beard Award-winning chef and restaurateur Justin Devillier. IACP AWARD FINALIST • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW With its uniquely multicultural, multigenerational, and unapologetically obsessive food culture, New Orleans has always ranked among the world's favorite cities for people who love to eat and cook. But classic New Orleans cooking is neither easily learned nor mastered. More than thirty years ago, beloved Paul Prudhomme taught the ways of Crescent City cooking but, even in tradition-steeped New Orleans, classic recipes have evolved and fans of what is arguably the most popular regional cuisine in America are ready for an updated approach. With step-by-step photos and straightforward instructions, James Beard Award-winner Justin Devillier details the fundamentals of the New Orleans cooking canon—from proper roux-making to time-honored recipes, such as Duck and Andouille Gumbo and the more casual Abita Root Beer-Braised Short Ribs. Locals, Southerners, and food tourists alike will relish Devillier's modern-day approach to classic New Orleans cooking.
