Chatting Books Online Day 300. Today's recommended book is "The New Orleans Cookbook" by Rima & Richard Collins.
Earlier this week I was flipping through facebook and saw a post on a New Orleans Foods Facebook page where someone asked fro a recommendation of a cookbook to learn to cook some of the delicious foods she had eaten in New Orleans. As I read through the comments one title kept popping up again and again and it was a book I did not know at all - so of course I immediately ordered it for the bookshop!
That title was "The New Orleans Cookbook" by Rima and Richard Collins and as I flip through the pages today I am not disappointed at all. There are recipes for all of your New Orleans favorites including an extensive section on soft shell crab ! The recipes look fabulous and simple. No hours long list of intricate steps just good cooking. I will be trying the crab cakes firs, I wonder what your first selection will be ?
This 254 page paperback contains 288 recipes and sells for $ 19.95 a copy.
