Cooking Up a Storm: Recipes Lost and Found from The Times-Picayune of New Orleans

My aunt has this book and as I looked through it, I started listing recipes I wanted to try. I intended to copy them. As my list grew to "more than a few", my husband said "Why don't you just get the book." And so I did.

Many of the recipes are from famous New Orleans restaurants damaged by Katrina. And don't look too hard to make. Others were recipes sent in to the Times Picayune by readers.

An excellent and fun cookbook.

Summary of Cooking Up a Storm: Recipes Lost and Found from The Times-Picayune of New Orleans

After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans thousands of people lost their keepsakes and family treasures forever. As residents started to rebuild their lives The Times-Picayune of New Orleans became a post-hurricane swapping place for old recipes that were washed away in the storm. The newspaper has compiled 250 of these delicious authentic recipes along with the stories about how they came to be and who created them. Cooking Up a Storm includes the very best of classic and contemporary New Orleans cuisine from seafood and meat to desserts and cocktails. But it also tells the story recipe by recipe of one of the great food cities in the world and the determination of its citizens to preserve and safeguard their culinary legacy.
