As a native New Orleanian may I say, this is the book the locals use? My mother-in-law used to see Professor Collin the A&P and come home and tell us what he was cooking. lol
I'll just say a few magic words: Chicken and Sausage File Gumbo, Creole Jambalaya, Red Beans and Rice, Pralines, and Chicken Maquechoux.
