Cajun Cuisine and More Volume 1: Great Recipes, Inspiring Stories and Cajun Humor Kindle Edition

"I don't know much bout borrowin' greenbacks from banks and such, but I know a pot full bout borrowin' happiness from this sad ol' world," Myrtle declared, her voice straining with her back as she bent to check a skillet of cornbread in the oven. "There jist isn't enough to go round anymore. And when a woman can snatch a few good years outta Father Time's hip pocket...why, yessiree...she can count herself luckier than most." So declares one of Paul Raphael’s many vivid characters illustrating and enlightening this one-of-a-kind storybook of recipes.

Whether it’s the French Quarter or the swamps and bayous of his native state, the author employs them as the stage for his humorous, romantic or reflective narratives, entertaining the reader while lending sensuous depth to the Cajun dishes he describes. Even the photos seem edible, the recipes coming alive in their colorful depictions.

An epic adventure, this volume 1 of the coming series, Cajun Cuisine and More, serves as sumptuous hors d'oeuvres for the feast which follows. Value it as a treasure-trove of time-tested Cajun recipes, or adore it for its bumbling, lovable, all-too-human characters; either, or both, make this a must-have for family and friends, a gift to be remembered by its frequent use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read and delicious recipes!
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2012

I cook a lot. I mean, REALLY a lot. Its my favorite hobby, and I love feeding people. I also love reading cookbooks. My husband and I joke that he LOVES reading manuals, and I say so do *I* - FOOD manuals! :)

I got this as a free e-cookbook and I would have to say it is probably the best one I've downloaded so far. I'm familiar with Cajun cooking and food, and the recipes are very authentic. The photography is lovely, and this e-cookbook has the type of formatting that I would dearly love to find more prevalent in e-cookbooks.

In addition, the author has included snippets of his poetry, writing, silly
Cajun jokes, and stories about Louisiana.

Not only a wonderful cookbook, but a great read, and a mini-vacation to Louisiana!

The recipes are easy to follow and I loved the information as well as the humor. My only regret is the recipe for Bayou Banana Bread is missing.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Does Not Get Any Better Than This A Little Humor, A History Lesson and A Lot of Great Recipes
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2012

I am just blown away by what I have just read. I was looking for some great recipes from the Louisiana
bayous and I also got a wonderful history lesson on Louisiana and more laughter than I have experienced
in months.

This cookbook is very rich in culture, mouth watering cajun recipes and some of the funniest humor you
will find. What a breath of fresh air this author has provided to a cookbook. Not your norm for this type
of book. I have found myself reading it over and over and each time I do I find something I missed the time
before. I also need to mention the wonderful photos that will bring joy to your day.

Cannot wait for this author to publish volume 2 and beyond. I will be a long time customer.

As a Florida school teacher, I am mindful of excellence in research, writing, and presentation. I give this exceptional cookbook five stars in all categories! It is a joy to read, an inspiration to use, and, a most trustworthy guide; the author's short stories offering constructive thoughts on many of life's confounding questions.

I subcribed to the publisher's newletter to be noticed on the next edition, and will order the print version of this one for gifts, as soon as it's available. If you collect cookbooks, this one may be the bookend for them all. I give it my ardent recommendation!

This is not your average cookbook. It is a kitchen novella, a storybook of likeable characters conquering our common foibles. I'm in the food industry and give a qualified assesment of the recipes. They are truly representative of Acadiana in all its seasonal glory. Entertaining, humorous, informative, and inspiring: this book is a must have for anyone who enjoys cooking, or just wants to explore the bayou state. I visited the author's website and previewed the recipe categories. The pictures alone compelled me to own this powerful presentation.

This book is so hard to explain!!! It is one of the best cookbooks I have ever owned.
But it is also so much fun to read! I have spent lots of time in the Cajun region and the authors take on that culture is right on.
And the recipes are wonderful...I plan on doing at least one a week....maybe more.
If you use your reader in your kitchen...the Table of Contents will help you get around in the book a joy.
Don't think about it...just buy it!!
