Born in the Crescent City on Mardi Gras, he'd never left his favorite town for more than three weeks at a time--that is, until Hurricane Katrina struck and Tom and his family were forced to evacuate.<BR><BR>Prior to the disaster, Tom was just putting the finishing touches on his <I>magnum opus</I>: a collection of recipes for the best of New Orleans food gathered and developed over more than 30 years spent reporting eating in the Big Easy. In addition to his weekly restaurant review column, which has been published continuously for 33 years, Tom is best known for his daily 3-hour radio show, "The Food Show," broadcast every afternoon on WSMB.<BR><BR>With <I>New Orleans Food</I>, Tom presents more than 250 great New Orleans recipes designed for the home cook, all steeped in the Creole and Cajun traditions, yet updated to reflect contemporary tastes and ingredients. From small plates (Shrimp Remoulade with Two Sauces) to main courses (Redfish Herbsaint, Root Beer-Glazed Ham) to desserts and drinks (Bananas Foster, Beignets, and Cafe au Lait), these are dishes both elegant and casual, traditional and evolved. Whether you are nostalgic for the taste of New Orleans or simply love good food, <I>New Orleans Food</I> should find a place on your cookbook shelf. Now every Monday, everywhere, can be red-beans-and-rice day.<BR><BR>A portion of the profits from the sale of this book will benefit New Orleans recovery efforts. 109067 1 2 2006 Tom Fitzmorris's New Orleans Food: More than 225 of the City's Best Recipes to Cook at Home (New Orleans Cooking) total:3|5:2|4:1| 3 14 11 0 0 0 false false Mon Aug 17 13:11:49 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 13:11:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 17 01:33:55 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 01:33:55 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jul 09 19:22:08 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 19:22:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 17 21:08:14 -0700 2009 Sun May 17 21:08:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 16 09:49:14 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 09:49:44 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jan 10 10:03:59 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 10:03:59 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 04 11:25:51 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 04 11:25:51 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Sep 24 07:57:17 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 24 07:57:17 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Apr 01 10:11:30 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 01 10:11:30 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Feb 28 08:24:05 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 28 08:24:12 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Sep 24 20:40:28 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 24 20:40:28 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=113279
