When I think of food from New Orleans, I think about hardy, mouth watering meals that taste like someone has been cooking all day just for you. In the past I have particularly enjoyed the fish and seafood recipes because I could never quite do justice to these dishes in my own kitchen.

Tom Fitzmorris’s New Orleans Food to the rescue. This book contains over 225 traditional recipes including a good quantity of those traditional fish and seafood dishes that I had been trying to replicate without much success. However, after following these unexpectedly simple directions, I was pleasantly surprised that I could actually make the dishes I had been craving and make them taste as good as I had secretly hoped. I also learned a few great new recipes for beef, pork, chicken, and vegetables.

It is important to note that a portion of the proceeds of this book go to Habitat for Humanity. Great food and a good cause too.
