As a non native, this book has really helped me step my game up, particularly with sauces. Anyone else use this book?

It's beautiful and I love it, but I view it more as a coffee table book. Kinda hefty to have in the kitchen. I'm sure other people actually cook from it.

I think the name is Port Hudson Buttermilk Pie. Outstanding!

I'm a non-native as well. This book has helped me out a lot.

I use the chicken and sausage gumbo recipe in there fairly often...Always a crowd-pleaser and it makes about 2.5 gallons of gumbo!

I've used After the Hunt/HL&A's lots over the last few years.

The recipes are a little much.

Ive only done two from hl&a but i had to get so many extra groceries that it immediatly became a book i limit to 1-2 times a year.

I did make a killer butter mix for an en papillote recipe. I used the extra mix in everything, very versetile.

I used the recipe for Braised Round Steak (or something similar - I don't have the book in front of me). It's great as written and can be modified to use with pork or chicken as well. I love some rice and gravy.
