Hot Beignets & Warm Boudoirs
Aah, romance.....synonymous with the South and especially Louisiana, Chef Folse's sixth cookbook introduces readers to another romantic element of our state - the bed and breakfast homes. Readers are taken on a tasty rendezvous through 26 of Louisiana's premier bed and breakfasts. Two of the most important elements in life - food and romance - come together as the central theme. Perhaps the unique feature of this book is that it is as much a romance novel as it is a cookbook. The 308-page book features almost 200 recipes only found at Louisiana bed and breakfasts. It is an anthology on the origin of breakfast as an event in New Orleans.

Louisiana Italians, Food, Recipes and Folkways
For over three decades, Nancy Wilson collected anecdotes and recipes from Louisiana's Italian immigrants, including her family and friends, as a way to preserve her children's Italian heritage. Included here alongside her lively personal commentary are historical and cultural facts about Italian-American immigration patterns, religious institutions and festivals such as St. Joseph's Day, and the importance of food and family in daily life. Louisiana's Italians, Food, and Folkways contains more than 100 recipes, from homemade wines, appetizers, and vegetables, to savory sauces, fish, and meat. There is also a chapter on unusual pastries such as cannoli, pinnulati, scadalin, and more. Chock full of both sentiment and practical tips on making bona fide Italian cuisine, this is a one-of-a-kind cookbook that will interest anyone curious about the history, food, and folkways of Italian immigrants in Louisiana. Included is a St. Joseph's Altar glossary and information guide and instructions and illustrations on how to build a "mud oven" so you can make your own authentic Italian bread.

Arnaud's Restaurant Cookbook: New Orleans Legendary Creole Cuisine
The life span of most restaurants is shorter than that of the average household pet, so when an eatery can claim to have remained open for 87 years, it is an accomplishment indeed. Arnaud's Restaurant of New Orleans opened its doors in 1918, and this book-a tidy marriage of Creole recipes and New Orleans history written by a close associate of the current owners-serves as a tribute to the institution's culinary staying power. Arnaud's has known only two family proprietors since its inception; some of the items on the menu, e.g., Shrimp Arnaud, date back to the original list of fare and can still be ordered today. Also included are history on the featured dishes and explanatory notes that will help weekend warriors attempting to put food to plate. Recipe ingredients should be easy enough for most people to purchase. Beautifully illustrated and well organized, this is recommended for public libraries with extensive cookbook collections
