Friends and Family Cookbook: 105 Recipes for Cooking with Family, Friends & Fire

This cookbook is exactly what it is titled…a collection of recipes from Cajun Country and beyond. I've gathered old family favorites from good Louisiana cooks that have been passed down for generations. Added more from friends and family in Texas, including a few from avid hunters of wild game as well as fish and seafood local to this area. Since I have so many grandchildren, both old and young, and a couple of tiny great grands, I decided to throw in a kid-friendly section, as well. I've learned the hard way that the most difficult part of constructing a cookbook is getting family members to 'get around' to contributing recipes. On the other hand, the hardest part about finishing a cookbook is to stop adding recipes, or even new sections. This one has something for lots of people, though not everyone. Really good Cajun cooks will see it as nothing special at all, because good cooks where I'm from are the norm rather than the exception. Regardless, I'm hoping my children, grands and great grands will use it for years to come, and maybe even add some recipes of their own in a future edition. As much as I've enjoyed putting it together, I hope you enjoy using it!
