Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I grew up just outside of Baton Rouge, so I know what "authentic Cajun food" is supposed to be.The recipes in here are a compilation of recipe books my mother used:River Road Recipes (I & II), TigerBait, Jambalaya, Talk About Good, and a bunch of others (hence thename...Best of the Best).Most of the recipes are pretty straight-forwardand easy (though occasionally time-consuming).My wife and I both love tocook, and when she lets me cook, this is the first book I pull down.Besure to try the "Jambalaya Bread Pudding" recipe (from thecookbook titled "Jambalaya").Every time I bake it, I get askedfor the recipe.
