I have been cooking Cajun and Creole dishes for over 35 years and this book is the bestI have ever found! There is no part of Louisiana cooking that you can not find here. Over the years I have relied upon Emeril Lagasse and Chef Prudhomme for authentic Cajun & Creole recipes, but this book not only gives recipes, but background and history, as well. And, I have found myself referring to this "Cajun Bible" when using other recipes for product substitution and cooking variances. If Cajun and Creole cooking has captured your heart, you will not be sorry that you purchased this book. To me, it has become an invaluable partner that is always within my reach!

My book arrived today, and I have not been able to put it down! I gave John Folse's "After the Hunt" (the only one of his three available at the time)as two Christmas gifts (2009) and recommended it to two others, both of whom purchased it for gifts for hunters and fishermen. Each of the four men that I know who received their book was more than delighted! They loved the pictures, the research, the recipes and the ease of reading the book; they also loved the size and the fact that they can use it in their homes as a "coffe table book." I am in total agreement with them on my book which includes "all things Cajun." In fact, I used a pasta & shrimp recipe for dinner for my husband and me tonight! It was delicious! I plan to purchase Folse's newest similar book--"Hooks, Lies and Alibis" in the near future. I chose the Encyclopedia because it includes not only meat but seafood and vegetable and game recipes. I think any one of these books is a real steal at the price they are selling for! Am I a professional cook? No, but I am a North Louisianaian who is a recently retired professional educator who loves to cook! Take my word! These books are beautiful, informative, and full of great Cajun recipes! Thanks, Mr. Folse, for sharing your professionalism and bringing such sophistication to such an under appreciated career! K.P.Read full review
Purchased to replace one I lost in flood. Amazed to have found one in brand new condition! This book covers great Louisiana history & relative impact on our unique cuisine. I’m proud to have been born & raised in South Louisiana (Cajun). Highly recommend this book!!!

Exceedingly excellent content. Historical, educational, informational, instructional. Quite fascinating and interesting to pore over the pages about the beginnings of Cajun and Creole cuisine and to learn the recipes and cooking techniques to prepare it from a local chef. The pictures are wonderful, both of the food and of Louisiana and its history. Only reason that I didn't give the product a 5 is that this truly is an encyclopedia, as its title states, and the book is large and heavy: 10 pounds and 12.25 x 10.5 x 2 inches. However, I'm learning a great deal and already am a better cook because of this book.
