Review Summary: I loved old Justin, but.....
Review: I acquired this cookbook when it first came out and harbored high expectations for the content. At this point, they are all pretty much dashed.

I cook every day and have for years. The best of these recipes is mediocre. On one occasion, I clearly recall preparing yet another of Justin's dishes and, just as it was nearing completion, my wife strolled into the kitchen with a wrinkled nose and said, "What stinks?" Sadly, she was right.

I DID give the book an extra star here because I loved the homegrown photographs which were snapped by Justin's pretty wife. I thought that they were really good and quite reflective of his regional cooking.

If you really want an outstanding cajun cookbook, grab a copy of Paul Prudhommes, "Chef Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen":

I actually did love old Justin and I think his cooking show was more fun than any other which ever aired on television -- but you can safely skip these recipes.

Review Summary: Good Cajun Food...... Gar-on-tee!!!!
Review: I had only recently heard of Justin Wilson. My husband and I love cajun food and I wanted to learn how to make it at home. Someone told me about him and a new fan was born!!! My husband bought me this book and another of Justin's to start out with.

The recipes are simple and delicious. I had no trouble making them, even as a first-timer. You can interchange a lot of the different kinds of meat as well - for example with the crawfish etoufee, we have made with shrimp as well as petite lobster.

The little stories in his book are entertaining as well. If you enjoy eating cajun, you will love this book!!!
