Favorite Cook Book
 

"Hooks, Lies, and Alibis" by John Folse

Got it for a wedding gift. Pretty awesome!
900 pages

All those big john folse ones are good. My favorite old cookbooks that I use a lot are the river road recipes. The first and second are great

tony chachere's 1st edition, Got the recipe for tony's seasoning in it,

John Folse Enclycopedia of Cajun Cuisine. I like the stories and history lessons in it as much as the recipes.

The one in my head!! I love to cook and just make **** up as I go!!

That's what I do. Hardly ever actually read a recipe

That's my favorite also. Mostly I just use recipes I've learned to cook from my dad but every now and then ill take one of folse's recipes and change it up a little. My dad made a cook book and have it to us for Christmas one year. It's hard to beat.

Why Not?





Last Christmas my mom gave me a binder with all of her recipes lots of baked things, fettuccini, and stuff like that. It includes some of her moms and my Maw-maws recipes and some from her sisters, one of the best gifts I ever got.

Some that I have are.

Tom Fitzmorris-New Orleans Food, lots of recipes from NOLA Restaurants
Justin Wilson-Lookin Back
Better Homes and Gardens-Has a lot of things that Cajun cookbooks don't cover and meals that cook pretty quick. Lasagna Recipe is excellent
Joy Of Cooking is another good one, goes over everything from how to boil water to how to poach an egg
Martin Yan-Quick and Easy Asian Cookbook, lots of stir fry
I have about 12 different cookbooks, 1 was from a the telephone company years ago. When schools sell cookbooks, churches I pick one up. But mostly now I get recipes online.

I usually just go off of memory from watching my mom or dad cook. If i do look up a recipe i never follow them completely.

I'm riveted to my screen waiting to see your reason.

some good stuff here......

But guys, do yourselves a favor........if your grandmother, grandfather, mother....or ANY person you respect cooks.....

Have them right there recipes down for you.......nothing formal......just on whatever, from a big chief pad to a grocery bag.....

They will make fine fine framed art for you kitchen and unbeleivable hand me downs for those kids that cook.....

Exactly trying to learn for passing it on...both my grandmothers were unbelievable cooks, never took the time to learn their procedures and now they are both gone...:(

OUCH! saw that coming!

Justin Wilson was not a Cajun or a cook, he was a drunkerd safty man for Exon who got canned for totaling a company car while drivin drunk. Have yall ever tried actually followed one of his recipes? Have ayll ever seen a Cajun man poor good wine into a pot???? He was a not so funny comedian that really got my goat by belittling the culture that I love and live. I truelly feel bad for folks who see him and think that that is the way we cook and are.

Sorry took me so long to answer, I'm at work and service is sketchy at best.

Some beef tips at the camp tonight

Nice looking tips ...
Pirate's Pantry is a good one and has a killer flounder stuffing in it


Most of my money is spent on fishing, fishing tackle, & boats... The rest is wasted.
