"In a Cajun Kitchen" is Terri Pischoff Wuerthner's heart-warming memoir with recipes that will remind people of the true flavours of Cajun cooking. Her ancestors settled in Louisiana around 1760, and the family grew into a memorable clan that under-stood the pleasures of the table and the bounty of the Louisiana forests, fields, and waters. Wuerthner spices her gumbo with memories of Cajun community dances, duck hunts and parties at the family farm. Along with the memories, "In a Cajun Kitchen" presents readers with a treasure trove of 180 authentic Cajun recipes: roasted pork mufaletta sandwiches, creamy crab casserole, breakfast cornbread with sausage and apples, gumbo, shrimp fritters, black-eyed pea and andouille bake, coconut pralines, pecan pie and much more. "In a Cajun Kitchen" is as much a great work of culinary history as it is a classic American cookbook, destined to take its place alongside other classics by Edna Lewis and James Beard.
