The late and extraordinarily great Lee Bailey’s take on New Orleans cooking, along with a tour of some of the city’s most spectacular homes. With recipes from favorite restaurants, Bailey’s inimitable approach to cooking extends to everything from Jalapeno Oyster Shooters to Smoked Fish Cakes, Baked Quail and Potatoes Gaufrette, to a classic Seafood Boil, along with Creole and Southern desserts. As ever, these books aren’t just about the food: Bailey’s deliciously warm and chatty voice, sense of humor, and visual style make for a great read whether you’re entertaining for a crowd or just for one. This first edition, first printing, is in great condition: minor shelf wear and tear to jacket, and yellowed outer pages, otherwise very clean.
