Local historian digs up long-lost info on The Picayune Creole Cook Book
quote:
It's a significant piece of national culinary history. Everyone who studies New Orleans food history works with it. And, of course, it has such a special place in New Orleans homes. After Hurricane Katrina, I heard one heart-wrenching story after another from those whose hand-annotated mothers' and grandmothers' copies drowned.?

- The Picayune-Creole Cookbook is essential. I have the 1910 and 1946 editions. (1920 is largely in French)
- The New Orleans Cookbook by Rima and Richard Collin is a classic
- New Orleans Food by Tom Fitzmorris is very good
- John Folse, John Besh, and Donald Link's books
- Seafood Notebook by Frank Davis
Barbeque
Aaron Franklin, Adam Perry Lang, and Robb Walsh's books
Smokestack Lightning by Eric Lolis Elie (out of print, but worth looking for)
Italian
It ain't sauce, It's gravy - by Steve Martorano
French
Complete Techniques - Jacques Pepin
General
Think Like a Chef - Tom Colichio

Richard Collins ‘ "New Orleans Cookbook" is the best, most consistent cookbook I own for New Orleans style cooking.
"Essential Pepin" is good, and Jacques Pepin "Heart and Soul" has some really good recipes from his PBS TV show.
John Folse "The Encyclopedia of Cajun and Creole Cuisine" is a wealth of information
For a couple of oldies but goodies, Julia Childs' "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" is a standard
And "The Joy of Cooking" is still stellar after all these years
