thistle Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I just saw this-https://www.facebook.com/epicurious/?fref=ts I have some of these & I plan on looking for others. The Cajun cookbook mentioned is "Cooking up a Storm" by Marcella Bienvenu. The only Cajun cookbooks I have right now are Donald Link's "Real Cajun" & "Down South"-both of them are excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Horoscope Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Yes, Cooking Up a Storm's used a lot at our house, as is Link's Real Cajun. I never made a good chicken and dumplings until I used his recipe! And his sauce piquante recipes are good too. Unfortunately some of the recipes call for things we can't get. "Start with a sack of crawfish." Yeah, right. "Make yourself a Ponce Bourré à la Teet's Grocery on the Ville Platte Road to Point Blue." Are you fricking kidding? The cookbooks we've used most have been Paul Prudhomme's, especially his family cookbook with recipes from him and his many brothers and sisters. We use it for homey, everyday dishes like fried chicken, meatball stew, rice and gravy, biscuits, cornbread, jambalaya, mayonnaise, potato salad ... They are very detailed recipes and they don't tell you at the last minute "Did you remember to do this THIS a half hour ago?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
