Creole Feast by Nathaniel Burton and Rudy Lombard

I wrote a review of one of my favorite New Orleans cookbooks called Creole Feast by Nathaniel Burton and Rudy Lombard: Creole Feast review at Nola Cuisine

Here is a little video showing all of the wonderful Black Chefs featured in this book:

First published in 1978, Creole Feast is more than a cookbook, it’s a tribute to the Black chefs who shaped New Orleans cuisine, like Leah Chase, Austin Leslie, and Louis Evans, whose stories of sacrifice, skill, and pride are woven through recipes for gumbos, étouffées, and courtbouillons; this landmark work preserves their voices and celebrates a heritage that defines the soul of Creole cooking, making it an essential volume for anyone who loves the flavors and history of New Orleans.

Be sure and check out my Creole & Cajun Recipe Page as well as my Bibliography of Creole & Cajun Cookbooks!
