This special edition of 'Cooking in Old Creole Days' was written by Celestine Eustis, and first published in 1903, making it well over a century old. This book is filled with recipes that take us back to the Old South, and celebrates the Creole cooks and their food - which was so good it endures to this day. There's recipes for the famous old favorites like Gumbo, Jambalaya, crawfish, lobster and crab dishes, and lots of recipes you may not have heard of too. Since the south was such a bustling trade hub and a melting-pot of cultures, there are many different influences on the food - Mexican, French, Spanish, British, Asian, and more. A wonderful addition to any home-kitchen library that is suitable for those familiar with Creole cookery, and those who are new to it too. IMPORTANT NOTE - Please read BEFORE buying!
