Description: John Gravois was born in Lafayette and raised in Houma, La., and shows how proud he is of his Cajun culture and cuisine in his conveniently small-sized book, A CAJUN FAMILY COOKBOOK. It starts with recipes his mother taught him as he prepared to go off to college, along with preciously guarded family recipes shared by his generous South Louisiana relatives. He shares his crash course in the region's specialties in easy-to-follow recipes accessible to anyone. From appetizers like shrimp in remoulade sauce to scrumptious main dishes including gumbos, jambalayas and pastas, Gravois takes you on a culinary tour of the swamplands. He also covers the basics, including fried and boiled seafood, wild game dishes like venison stew and stuffed duck breast (armadillo fricassee, anyone?). And then there are side dishes like maque choux and the ever-popular zucchini pirogues, and traditional desserts from pralines to bread pudding. RAVE REVIEWS: "This little book covers a lot of good ground," wrote the Times-Picayune."The Southern Louisiana native's pocket-size cookbook packs a punch with 94 pages of quick-and-easy, Louisiana-inspired dishes," wrote The Advertiser of Lafayette, La. Gravois also is the author of SPEAK CAJUN IN 30 MINUTES OR LESS, A CELEBRATION OF SOUTH LOUISIANA.
