A FAVORITE SINCE 2002

Everyone raves about Louisiana cuisine; this is evidenced by the great success if various regional titles throughout the state. River Road Recipes, Come On In, Tell Me More, Secret Ingredients, Roux to Do and Krewes in the Kitchen are just a few successful titles out of dozens I could mention.

However, in 2002 one of my all time favorites was published by noted restaurateur Dickie Brennan. Palace Cafe, The Flavor of New Orleans was introduced as a marketing and sales tool for The Palace Cafe.  I mention this title as a new copy just came across my desk from the latest printing of this excellent title.

What I like best (among many features in this title) is the fact that he holds nothing back. Each recipe features a tidbit of special information about it and this information brings the book to life.  Aside from the fabulous recipes, food photos and photos of staff within the Cafe are Dickie's sauces, stocks and seasonings--truly a treasure of insider information.

If you like Louisiana cuisine at its best do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of Dickie Brennan's Palace Cafe.
