Williams-Sonoma Foods of the World: New Orleans: Authentic Recipes Celebrating the Foods of the World

The first part of the book is all about New Orleans: the history, the neighborhoods, the culinary staples, the traditions.Then it goes into the recipes, lots of classic cajun and creole dishes and some not as common ones as well.Full of great pictures of the city and the food.Lots of appealing recipes!

This is a lovely book. I wish more recipes were included, however, a lot of the classics are. It is a stunning pictorial of New Orleans and the food history of the region that is included is wonderful. As a cookbook it is good. As a stunning photographic pictorial capturing New Orleans it is one of the best.

Very pleased.

I found my grandma's original cornbread recipe in this book!!

Perfect combination of recipes, artwork, and history. The book is such a nice product that I almost hate to keep it in the kitchen for fear of getting food on it!

Williams-Sonoma put's out very good books and products. This one has good information and pictures. Plus it gives a brief history of this food culture as well.

This cookbook is outstanding! Not only does the book include wonderful recipes from my favorite city, but there are also written treasures about this awesome city. My friends and I went to New Orleans for our senior class trip when we were in high school (three buses filled with kids from Akron). To celebrate our 50th birthday, we went back to New Orleans. We had a blast - riding the trolley, eating the food, visiting the French Quarter, eating beignets at the Cafe du Monde, sightseeing, etc... I bought this cookbook for my friends as a Christmas gift. It is a beautiful cookbook!

This is gorgeous to look at. Like most Williams Sonoma products, it is well put together, beautifully presented and somehow a little too showy to be very useful.There are some great recipes in the second half of the book. There are also some really interesting things in the front of the book.However, it would have been wonderful to have a high end, intermediate to advanced cookbook based on New Orleans style food with more than a few recipes. The recipes that are in here are delicious and easy to follow. I just wish there were MORE of them.

Bought this book for a Chr5istmas gift and they absolutely loved it..Have tasted some recipes for it and they were fantastic!
