Title: Not cajun food
Review: I live in New Orleans. Emeril is a well known celebrity around these parts because of all of his restaurants and his TV shows. However, as popular as he is, the locals realy don't consider his food to be authentic. Emeril has taken classic New Orleans cooking, and 'Emerilized' it to a point that it is something completely different. A true native to New Orleans would not really appreciate Emerils version of something as simple as fried crawfish tails. This book is the same. While there are some 'interesting' recipes, they are not authentic, nor are they necessarily that good. I tried almost all of them, just to see how they would be. This was a sad mistake. Don't be fooled into thinking Emeril is a master Cajun chef. He's not. He is probably much better at pasta or other regional dishes.
