Customer Reviews

Chef Paul Prudhomme's Pure Magic - an imaginary trip to Louisiana.

224 pages with a recipe on almost every page so there are a good number of recipes for you to try. They all sound great and most sound fairly easy to prepare. This cookbook is sure to take you on at least an imaginary trip to Louisiana. The number of photos are very limited but they are in color. Wish there had been more. Still, I’m glad I got this one.

Pure Prudhomme

This book adapts some of Chef Paul's most popular recipes to use his seasoning blends instead of individual herbs and spices. Many of the recipes start with a stick of butter but that's cajun cooking for you. If you already have Louisiana Kitchen, this book may be a bit redundant. But its compact size makes it easier to use in the kitchen. It also contains some background information and general advice beyond the recipes themselves. If you want to own only one cajun cookbook, this is a great one to have.

A Louisiana Legend

Paul Prudhomme makes good food and with this book, you can make good food too. I love regional cookbooks that provide the history or the story behind the recipe and this book delivers. The recipes are simple and easy to follow. I wish there were more photgraphs. I've had this book for a while and I will never part with it.

Good Cookin, Good Eating

There are alot of easy recipes in this book, I have tried many of them. Down home food no matter where your home is. It is not only easy to follow but there are candid stories about how some of the recipes came about. This one stays on the counter.
