(Hardcover)
This cookbook, first published in 1885, was the first Creole cookbook ever printed. It is a rare collection of recipes from leading New Orleans chefs of the day, as well as from Creole housewives who shared their recipes and housekeeping tips with the writer and cartoonist throughout his stay in the city.
This volume is a long-lasting treasure trove of old New Orleans customs and an attractive addition to any cookbook library.
First published in New York by W.H. Coleman in 1885 under the title "La Cuisine Creole".
