Real Creole Jun 24, 2005
By Robert B. More
Arnaud's Restaurant Cookbook is a jewel. It demystifies Creole cooking - the real stuff - not the tourist fare that's burnt with too much cayenne and slathered with tabasco. The recipes can be authentically executed in the amateur kitchen from readily available ingredients. Recipes range from the humble red beans and rice to the exotic and heady Cafė Brûlot. And yes, it includes the correct recipe for an Old Fashioned. The book is beautifully illustrated and filled with the myth and history of the classic Arnaud's Restaurant in the context of New Orleans. There's even a picture of a ghost!

Not Your Average Cookbook May 12, 2005
By foxmore
This cookbook is beautifully photographed, an interesting read and very high quality, so your first tough decision will be where to keep it - in the kitchen or on the coffee table! The second tough decision will be what to cook first - classic recipes are logically arranged, and easy to follow. I highly recommend this book for cooks of all skill levels.

Each recipe has been adapted for use in home kitchens Dec 07, 2005
By Midwest Book Review
Arnaud's Restaurant is well known for its leadership in New Orleans cuisine, holding roots from 1918 to modern times and establishing a solid reputation for presenting Creole foods to customers around the world. Now you can enjoy many of these signature dishes at home with Arnaud's Restaurant Cookbook: New Orleans Legendary Creole Cuisine. Each recipe has been adapted for use in home kitchens, translating large-volume and complicated restaurant fare to home cooking. The resulting Creole dishes are very easy to work with - especially given the numerous full-page color photos throughout.

Arnaud's Restaurant Apr 17, 2008
By N. Boyer
After eating at this restaurant in New Orleans recently and seeing the book on the bar I wanted to purchase it. By ordering off of Amazon I got it for $10 less. It is a beautiful book with excellent pictures (many old) from the restaurant plus all the great recipes.

My Heart Belongs to Arnaud's Feb 08, 2008
By Mark
"New Orleans Fan"
During my last visit to New Orleans my new bride and I became engaged at Arnaud's over a meal that celebrated our happiness. We use Arnaud's Cookbook to make our special occasion meals and when we entertain. The Trout Meuniere and other amazing recipes bring back those memories along with the lavishly photographed restaurant and dishes. The stories and history that accompany it make it special reading, and we keep it prominently displayed on our coffee table. When most cookbooks don't show the finished dish, this one is chock full of delicious pictures to inspire. It you have never been to New Orleans, it will give you a taste and a real feeling of an amazing city.
