Real Cajun: Rustic Home Cooking from Donald Link's Louisiana by Donald Link

Description

"An untamed region teeming with snakes, alligators, and snapping turtles, with sausage and cracklins sold at every gas station, Cajun Country is a world unto itself. The heart of this area?the Acadiana region of Louisiana?is a tough land that funnels its spirit into the local cuisine. You can?t find more delicious, rustic, and satisfying country cooking than the dirty rice, spicy sausage, and fresh crawfish that this area is known for. It takes a homegrown guide to show us around the back show more roads of this particularly unique region, and in Real Cajun, James Beard Award?winning chef Donald Link shares his own rough-and-tumble stories of living, cooking, and eating in Cajun Country"--P.
