Title: An Oasis in My Desert
Product review: For the last 5 years we've been living in the deserts of Mexico and southern Arizona. I know all too well what it means to miss New Orleans. On a trip home last summer, friends of ours had this book displayed on their coffee table. I knew immediately I had to have it on my own table in Arizona. People there just don't understand our passion for food and culture.The book is a salve for my longing for home. It is the most beautiful cookbook I've ever seen. But its so much more than a cookbook -- it's a cultural catalog of south Louisiana history, food and life. Whenever I'm really missing home, I pop in a Harry Connick Jr. CD, browse this tome for a good recipe and cook up something from home while sipping a glass of wine. As the Visa commercial goes...."priceless!" Buy this book!!!I also bought the book for my Dad who lost all his cookbooks in Katrina -- this is the only book that could come close to replacing a collection of Louisiana cookbooks.
