Master the art of all the most delectable styles of Louisiana cooking, from Cajun to Creole, rural Acadiana to down-home New Orleans, in more than 100 easy-to-use recipes. George Graham--a lifelong Louisianan, a former chef and restaurateur, and now an award-winning food writer and blogger--is a
brilliant cook, a warm, funny, and engaging storyteller, and an ace photographer. He brings all these talents alive in
Fresh from Louisiana, his second cookbook, following on the heels of his masterful
Acadiana Table. George makes Louisiana cooking not just
easy for home cooks to learn, but
fun and interesting, too.
The recipes range from George's pitch-perfect versions of classic Louisiana dishes to imaginative, brand-new ideas that use the signature flavors of the region's cuisines in utterly new ways. You can
start a glorious Louisiana meal with a Corn and Crab Bisque, a Crawfish Boil Chowder, or Mini Bell Peppers Stuffed with Crabmeat. For a
main course, why not try a Pork Roast with Apple Pan Gravy, Crisp Chicken Thighs with Creole Jasmine Rice, or a Gulf Shrimp Pasta Primavera? There are lots of
desserts, too, like Praline Pumpkin Pie, Macadamia Nut Ice Cream Sandwich, and Sweet Potato Pie Brûlée, plus
sides,
sandwiches,
cooling drinks, and
breakfast and brunch fare.
For soul-satisfying everyday dinners with family to amazing weekend feasts with friends, this beautiful book--with
more than 100 color photos--brings the intriguing and delicious flavors of Louisiana home, wherever you might live.
