Thanks for chiming in Gris! I decided to order that one. It was an easy decision when I found out you could get it personally autographed.

The autograph is a nice touch. The other books mentioned are all very good, but some are not strictly Cajun. This one is the best shot at that. Although the recipes may look long, they are easy to follow and the ingredients lists look long because it predates the Magic Seasonings he now recommends, so the cook can go either way on that. Mix it up yourself or buy the mix.

Good to hear. She's in Dallas so I don't know if they can find the seasonings or not. I think I might send Talk About Good for Mothers Day. She should be covered then.

I'd go with the Plantation Cookbook as the follow up book, myself.

I think the Magic Seasonings are all over the place. I'd be surprised if they weren't in Dallas. I think I saw them somewhere in Fort Worth.

Pirate's Pantry or John Folse's cookbook. He has a great cookbook.

if you can find it, Paul Prudomme's first cook-book. he not only gives great recipes, but seasoning recipes for each dish (probably the same seasonings he now sales

Real Cajun by Donald Link. Great food, great pictures, and fun to read (each recipe has its own short story).
