 | The Encyclopedia of Cajun & Creole Cuisine by John D. Folse
Buy used from: $63.00 John Folse is one of the most entertaining chefs today. His encyclopedia is full of information about Louisiana's foods and lifestyles. Some material he includes would be difficult to find elsewhere. Paul gave me this book, and I treasure it.
Not only is John Folse a great chef; he is also a delightful person -- a true gentleman. He interviewed us on his radio show. He likes collards!
