The best! If you only have one New Orleans Cookbook this is IT!

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

Excellent cookbook. The authors were the "Underground Gourmet" , annonymous food critics for the "Times Picayune" paper in New Orleans through the 60's and 70's. They were closely acquainted with every local restaurant and owner from the finest to the small and little known local haunts and worked on this book, experimenting at home for 12 years.
It is EXCELLENT. The recipes are simple and very typically local. I haven't cooked anything from it that is a miss.
I cook a lot and I always make changes (drop salt, substitute chicken or vegetable broth for water (plenty salty by the time it reduces!), and double and triple up on the spice to nearly everything I cook, and I normally work from multiple recipes), but even cooking straight from the recipes here you won't miss. They are all well tested, not unnecessarily complex, and trial by trail, I've found that the recipes here are more consistently a hit a higher percentage of times than most any cookbook I've ever tried.
The sauce picaunte recipe (otherwise known as Shrimp Creole) is an old recipe from the 1800's and is great. There's a good rich etouffee recipe.
There are a number of good gumbos...Mix them and add the ingredients you like! The braised pears on icecream dessert is easy to prep, quick to prepare after dinner and will WOW your guests (You can substitute Le Courvoissier.)

Classic New Orleans recipes. Many that you don't easily find anymore, even in New Orleans. The book is plain, but worth having if you only care about the cooking and the food

Wonderful dive into Louisiana cooking

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2023

Verified Purchase

My mother had the original version of this she received as a wedding gift. 50 years later, it still is a great book! Filled with recipes and a brief story of the categories of dish, this is a must have for any fan of Cajun cooking.

From Appetizers, to snacks, entrees, to desserts... this is a GREAT south Louisiana/Cajun cookbook!

(Thanks Amazon for helping me replace a priceless book with a gently used version!)

The New Orleans Cookbook

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2014

Verified Purchase

I purchased the paperback version of this book and I don't like how difficult it is to use. The commentaries, while informational, are not very well-written. However, the recipes are well-written, concise, and easy to understand. As a cookbook there are a number of traditional and popular recipes. Included are variations for some of these recipes. Another thing I didn't like, was that the information is scattered throughout the book. While it was fairly easy to find, it was hardship to keep flipping between pages, because of the way the book is bound. While the aesthetics of the book present awkwardness, the recipes are excellently written. The recipes in the chicken chapter look killer and I can't wait to try the Chicken Fricassee and the Chicken Pontalba.The Dirty Rice recipe is delicious. I love how the recipes are organized. I am a passionate cook. Overall this cookbook is one that I would recommend. However, I think if I ever purchase this as a gift, I will invest in a hardbound edition. Perhaps it won't be so awkward to use.

Best New Orleans Cookbook Ever!

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2022

Verified Purchase

Naturally N'awlins this is it. I'm a native and discovered this book while working in the public library in Ohio over 30 years ago. It is the only cookbook that I've experienced that came close to the way my Mom cooked. It has been in my library ever sense. I've always kept extra copies to give out as presents or when someone asks for a recommendation. I've tried just about every recipe in the book and they are authentically table worthy of a New Orleans home. Highly recommended

A superior New Orleans cookbook

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is one of the superior cookbooks relating the delicious food of New Orleans through easily
Followed recipes. Richard Collin with his wife, Rima,
Was the original food critic in NO. His newspaper
Column and subsequent first book was called The
Underground Gourmet; a collection of restaurant reviews. As a retired chef, I used this book often.
In fact, I am on my third copy because I used it so much it was in several pieces. The recipes are well
Written, easy to follow and absolutely delicious.
