This was a fun book but I just wouldn't make most of what was in it. I did try the spicy chicken and dumplings and it was delicious. I'd never make the dumplings again though the way described. I'd just drop them like normal drop dumplings and save a bunch of time. Rolling out and cutting them up in small pieces didn't matter as they all just clumped together in the end anyway. Great dish though!

Some nice recipes, although a little too 'cheffy' for my taste and some of the ingredients are not at all easy to come by where I live (Banyuls vinegar, for example - and fresh Louisiana seafood).

Great recipes from real Louisianans....The recipes are not that easy to make and many require special ingredients; rustic rub, one egg mayonnaise that you have to make from scratch. But all in all this is fresh & home style cookin'.
