The 100 Greatest Cajun Recipes

Jude W. Theriot

Beschreibung

Dishes that represent the very heart and soul of the culinary spirit of Cajun Culture, from the chef who “was Cajun before Cajun was hot” (Anne Bryn, bestselling author of the Cake Mix Doctor series).   Chef Jude W. Theriot shares his list of core recipes that define the essence of Cajun cooking. Along the way he shares secrets, hints, and personal asides in his lagniappe, or “something extra,” sections. These helpful sections include freezer suggestions and, as in the case of Pain Perdu, explain how the dish got its name.   In recounting the history of the Cajuns from their Canadian beginnings through their migration south to Louisiana, Theriot conveys the spirit and resolve of a proud community. To know this spirit is to know what drives them to cook with such passion. From boiled crawfish, crabmeat au gratin, and shrimp gumbo to chicken étouffée, Chef Theriot has distilled the essence of Cajun cooking with his signature easy-to-follow, hearty recipes.

Pissarro

Nathalia Brodskaya

“Father Pissarro”, as his friends liked to call him, was the most restrained of the artists of the Impressionist movement. Perhaps it was his age, being older than his fellow artists Monet, Sisley, Bazille, and Renoir, or rather his maturity, which resulted in his works having such serene and sober subjects and compositions. 
A man of simple tastes, he enjoyed painting peasants going about their daily lives. However, Pissarro owes his belated fame to his urban landscapes, which he treated with the same passion he used to paint beautiful stormy skies and frost-whitened mornings.

The Krays' London - A History...

Caroline Allen

A true crime travel guide to the haunts and hangouts of the most notorious gangsters of London’s East End.      There are many conflicting stories about who Ronnie and Reggie Kray were.   Films depicting their lives have made the public vilify them, adore them and even admire them. This guidebook will dig a little deeper into the places they spent their time. Many of the places are renowned as the stomping grounds of the devious duo, but there are one or two exclusives that are not yet covered anywhere else, including the untold story of their lifelong hairdresser.   Chapter by chapter, a map of their lives will reveal itself, making this the perfect read for anybody around the world interested in London’s gangster scene.   “I remember going home from a cinema visit to London in the early 1960s with police sirens all over the place as we went through the East End. I remember the newspaper reports of the time, and wondering how the police could allow such people to control the East End to such an extent, and to apparently countenance the horrors this evil gang inflicted on their own and their enemies. It was a horrendous time to be alive in the East End of London, and Caroline’s superb book brings it all back to life.” —Books Monthly
