Thank you Broussards for this. Interesting read, with recipes that are home useful. Not the usual unobtainium types so profound in these books. Fun to use with great results.
I've collected cookbooks for years, and this is my pick of the litter.
Thanks again!

Antoine's Cookbook: Antoine's Restaurant Since 1840 Cookbook Review

I purchased Antoine's Restaurant cookbook because I loved my visit to New Orleans and found the food served in it's restaurants to be superb. This particular cookbook is delightful in its historical information, the wonderful illustrations and it's very basic New Orleans cuisine. I found some recipes I would fix but many of the recipes are too simple. If you want a unique, New Orleans way to fix green beans, don't look in this cookbook. The green bean recipe is just that.."Green Beans with butter". Boil the beans until tender, drain and add melted butter. Thats it. The section on sauces is interesting but when fixing many of the entre's you have to go back and forth looking up the separate sauce recipes to add to the main entre' recipe. For example, the main recipe is on page 76 but the sauce is on page 124. I like everything on the same page when I'm cooking. Simple dishes are sometimes the best but most of the dishes featured in this cookbook aren't very exciting. It is a nice cookbook to add to a collection because of the history behind the restaurant but not necessarily for it's unique recipes.

The Brennan's New Orleans Cookbook is a great, classic New Orleans cookbook. (Note: I was born in NO, live in South Louisiana, and lived in NO for 5 years.) Try the recipes for Stuffed Bell Peppers, Stuffed Mirletons (use shrimp instead of crabmeat), Red Beans, Redfish Courtboullion, and Creole Jambalaya. One day I'm going to start on Page 1 and cook everything in this book!
