Cajun Delights

In a city where eating is a main attraction, New Orleans cuisine is as distinctive as it is succulent. A Little New Orleans Cookbook charmingly showcases some of the Big Easy's most beloved recipes. With every turn of the page you can almost witness the teeming city coming to life: streetcars clacking along the streets, the garish coronets of a passing funeral procession marching sedately along the Rue, and the tantalizing scent of chicory laced coffee and beignets wafting from the cafes. A Little New Orleans Cookbook is richly steeped in the fabulous heritage and exotic grace of New Orleans taste.
