This is one of the best, if not the best, cookbooks for truly Cajun recipes! It's from the absolute king of Cajun cooking - Paul Prudhomme. This book contains the recipes for the blackening seasoning for fish, chicken etouffe (or shrimp), gumbo and jambalaya, as well as wonderful breads and desserts. There is a recipe for chicken big mamou which is a spicy spaghetti sauce with spicy/seasoned chicken in it - just delicious. The stuffing for the stuffed pork chops is sweet and spicy (has brown sugar, apples and jalapenos) and will make you crave it! The chicken curry is simply addicting! One of the reasons this cookbook is so good is that it's old enough to have the spices listed instead of just telling you to use the commercial line of K-Paul's Magic Seasoning (while they're good, I'm not going out to buy each and every kind made). It's also hard to find the recipes with the spice list on the internet so this cookbook is a must-have for Cajun food lovers! This is my 2nd copy as my original copy is lost among some boxes of my cookbooks and I was craving the chicken curry (has jalapenos, raisins, bananas and apples so, along with that wonderful curry powder, makes for a spicy yet slightly sweet concoction that I could eat at least once a week)! You will not be disappointed in this cookbook!Read full review

This is my second copy. I had the first copy for almost 30 years. It was falling apart from use, I have used many of the recipes many times. They are good but some may be too spicy for some.

I COOKED WITH CHEF PAUL SOME YEARS AGO AT A CHEF'S CONVENTION IN MILWAUKEE, AND THIS IS MY COOKBOOK OF HIS. I PURCHASE THESE FOR FRIENDS. THE COOKIE RECIPE ON THE LAST PAGE OF THIS BOOK IS WORTH THE PRICE ALONE.

Chef Prudhomme single handedly put Cajun/Creole cooking in the minds of a national audience and brought attention to New Orleans' hospitality at a time when it desperately needed it. The book itself was delivered in a timely and well packed manner.
