## Description

Backstreet and little-known grub stops in New Orleans! “. . . an updated version of those classic Creole cookbooks you (should) already have on your shelf.” ―Robert Peyton, restaurant reporter for New Orleans Magazine “. . . illustrates how our native cuisine has evolved in the 21st century while still keeping all of its familiar flavors.” ―Poppy Tooker, author of Louisiana Eats! A variety of recipes from restaurants, including Toups’ Meatery, Purloo, Kingfish, and many more, celebrates a new group of successful eateries sure to become New Orleans classics. Each recipe is accompanied by stunning photos, and chapters are introduced with colorful folk art from Simon of New Orleans.

Review: Not Ya Mama’s Cookbook - This cookbook starts with some art work that advises, "Be Nice Or Leave". So I’ll be nice and say this cookbook is fabulous. The photos are gorgeous, the recipes are innovative, and the stories accompanying each recipe are fun and informative. Did I mention that the photos are amazing? The lightening, the composition, the food. They are drool worthy and realistic enough to make you want to lick the pages. The book is divided into 4 sections: Starts, Land & Air, Sea, and Sweet. “Starts” includes noteworthy dishes like: Butter Bean Hummus with Rustic Roasted Garlic Bread, Crawtator-Crusted Gulf Oysters with Red Bean Gravy, Andouille Tots with Ranch Dipping Sauce. “Land & Air” has dishes like: Grilled Stuffed Quail with Pancetta, Scottie’s CNN Blackberry and Jalapeno Ribs, Bad Bart’s Black Jambalaya, Mac’N on Magazine, Tina Dunbar’s Kitchen Sink Gumbo. “Sea” has some dishes that had me composing my shopping list: Cream of Blue Crab and Wild Mushroom Bisque, BBQ Shrimp Gaufe, Trout Baquet (trout with crab meat topping; what could be better). And “Sweet” has things like: Banana Bread Pudding with Extra-Boozy Rum Sauce, Ooey Gooey Cake (a family favorite), and Celestine’s Honey-Peach Pound Cake (yumm). I can’t wait to start cooking. I will update with my progress….
Review: Kudos to Jyl Benson! - Jyl Benson has a great little book here! It's new (only had it a few days, but I've read all of the anecdotal bits and have marked the recipes we'll try soon) but have already done the andouille tots, though, and they were loved. I will be buying a few more copies as gifts, and a "Show-off" copy, since the one in my possession already has a few battle marks from the kitchen. Her personal notes distinguish this effort as a book to enjoy and use, not to be tossed in with all of those other cookbooks you have used once or twice and forgotten. Plus, what guest isn't impressed with a New Orleans inspired dish? Well, okay, John Folse, Donald Link, John Besh and a few others might be a little harder to impress, but even they appreciate good food that is well-prepared and nicely presented! All of the choices in Fun, Funky, and Fabulous... provide you with the opportunity to do just that! Enjoy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a delicious and most beautiful compilation of New Orleans most exciting casual restaurants
*by C***A on February 4, 2015*

The title says it all! What a delicious and most beautiful compilation of New Orleans most exciting casual restaurants. The recipes reflect what the dynamic young chefs are creating in this most culinary of cities. The photography is superb, an appetite stimulating view of the best there is to offer. The Ooey Gooey Cake recipe is on my counter for my next excursion. The book is a perfect birthday, anniversary, wedding, shower, housewarming and hostess gift. I bought two, just so I'd always have one handy for me. It now has a place of honor on my kitchen must-have bookshelf.
