In a Cajun Kitchen

This is Terri Pischoff Wuerthner's heartwarming memoir with recipes that will remind people of the true flavors of Cajun cooking. Her ancestors settles in Louisiana around 1760 and the family grew into a memorable clan that understood the pleasures of the table and the bounty of the Louisiana forests, fields, and waters. Wuerthner spices her gumbo with memories of Cajun community dances, duck hunts and parties at the family farm. Along with the memories, In a Cajun Kitchen presents readers with a treasure trove of 180 authentic Cajun recipes:roasted pork mufaletta sandwiches, creamy crab casserole, breakfast cornbread with sausage and apples, gumbo, shrimp fritters, black-eyed pea and andouille bake, coconut pralines, pecan pie, and much more. In a Cajun Kitchen is as much a great work of culinary history as it is a classic American cookbook, destined to take its place alongside other classics by Edna Lewis and James Beard.
