Author Jude W. Theriot had his work cut out for him with this book -- namely distilling the gargantuan subject of Cajun cooking into just 100 of the best recipes. If anyone could do it, Louisiana super chef Jude Theriot is the man. This collection represents the best of the best -- both classic dishes that everyone thinks of when they think of Cajun cooking (gumbos, etouffes, jambalayas), as well as more obscure recipes that the public at large might not be as familiar with (smothered dishes, creative vegetables and sides, meat and game dishes). If you cooked this book, you'd experience a wonderful cross section of Louisiana Cajun culinary adventures without ever leaving your home. Never boring, Cajun dishes tend to burst with flavor and complex layers that linger in the memory long after the meal is finished. Theriot, a native of Lake Charles, Louisiana, and one of the country's leading experts on Cajun cooking (he's authored six other books on the subject), created a collection here that fits those criteria while simultaneously keeping his recipes easy to prepare. The ingredients, for the most part, are nothing exotic, but the finished dish is always much greater than the sum of its parts. Each recipe contains a section called "Lagniappe" (pronounced lan-YAP), Cajun for "something for nothing," Jude's personal notes and tips. This expert advice brings a bit more history and personality to the dishes and helps you to prepare them to perfection. Chapters include: The Cajun Story; Appetizers; Stocks, Gumbos, Soups, Salads, and Salad Dressings; Seafood; Meats and Meat Dishes; Vegetables; Sweets; Seasoning Mixes, Sauces, Breakfast Dishes, and Miscellaneous.
