Having reviewed other cookbooks in the Hometown Cookbook Series, I knew I was in for a treat!

More than any of the other cookbooks, this one is definitely unique to the state of Louisiana.  Along with delightful recipes, there are vignettes about many of the food festivals held annually all over the state.  As you would expect there are many wonderful seafood recipes, but where else can you find 27 different recipes using crawfish as the main ingredient?  Or 7 recipes for with alligator as the main ingredient?  The cookbook is divided into the following sections: Beverages and Appetizers: Bread and Breakfast; Salads, Sauces, Dressings and Rubs; Soups, Stews and Gumbo; Meats (some great and unusual chicken recipes); Fish and Seafood; Cakes, Cookies & Candies; Pies and Other Desserts; and a List of Louisiana Festivals.

You’ll get hungry just reading the recipes in this delightful addition to the Hometown Cookbook Series.
