Stir the Pot : A History of Cajun Cuisine Hardcover – September 1, 2005

Loved reading this. Marcelle adds such wonderful information for all aspiring cajun cooks.

Been trying to read for over a year. I've been busy but seems to be a slow read and not really grab my attention

This is a great book to read/learn about the history of cajun cuisine.

I really like this book, it's full of a lot of history and proven facts with essential recipes in the back of it. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes to cook Southern food.

great condition

Excellent guide to Cajun food and French/Cajun history. A must read for any food history inthusiast.

Louisiana Food. Louisiana History. Louisiana Culture. All three of these alluring topics are blended and cooked-down to a flavorful étouffée in Stir the Pot. The authors themselves - a chef, a historian, and a folklorist - form the perfect mixture to create this heart-warming collection of historical accounts, stories, techniques, and economic to religious influences that have driven the evolution of Cajun cooking for over two centuries.But don't just take my word for it. The back cover of the book boasts commendations from renowned historians and authors John Mack Faragher and Jay Gitlin, and from Comander's Palace owner Ella Brennan. Emeril Lagasse, the star chef of the Food Network, states "I'm happy to see the real story of the evolution of Cajun cuisine finally put in print. For anyone who is unfamiliar with the subject, this book will be a great reference." And I believe that everyone, familiar or not, will enjoy this book throughout.

great history ,enjoyed reading a bout it
