Not overly well written, but it was fun to revisit a place I traveled to earlier this year and learn more about the history.

I visited New Orleans before the millennium and was captivated by the place. It was such an exciting place and the food was just divine. I bought this book as a souvenir and although I have not been tempted to cook any of the recipes I have enjoyed looking at the lovely photographs and the interesting history of the French Quarter.

Very interesting, this book gave a great deal of info about the city as well as the two sisters.
