Review:

When best selling cookbook author Holly Clegg (of the Trim and Terrific series fame) heard that the Louisiana coast is disappearing at the alarming rate of 25-35 square miles per year, she just had to do something. After all, as a Louisiana resident herself, Holly frequently uses the Pelican state’s seafood bounty in her Trim and Terrific cooking. So Holly teamed up with America’s WETLAND Foundation whose mission is to raise public awareness of the state of America’s Gulf Coast, to produce this cookbook that celebrates the best of Louisiana style cooking, albeit Trim and Terrific style.

America’s WETLAND Foundation benefits from a portion of the book’s proceeds. Everyone benefits from the tasty easy to prepare recipes. As always Holly has included nutritional info and statistics so everyone, including diabetics, can plan these recipes into their diets. There are also lots of mouth watering full color photos that look so good you can almost taste and smell them.
Like all of Holly’s Trim and Terrific books, the recipes in this one are straight forward, and quick, and easy to prepare. And while the book does celebrate the flavors of the south, Yankees will have little trouble finding the ingredients (with the possible exception of crawfish).

So do your tastebuds, and America’s vanishing Gulf Coast, a favor and pick up a copy of Trim & Terrific Gulf Coast Favorites for yourself or a for a thoughtful gift that makes a difference.

Appetizers; Breads, Muffins and Brunch; Soups, Stews and Chilis; Salads; Vegetables and Sides; Seafood; Poultry and Game; Beef, Pork, Veal, and Venison; Pasta; Sweet Treats; Stock and Pantry; Menu Suggestions; Cajun and Creole Glossary.
