From the Back Cover

Originally published in 1966 as Fun Cooking Guide for Young Brides and Homemakers, Myrtle Landry ("Mrs.") Simms' recipes, culled from traditional New Orleans Creole kitchens and Louisiana Cajun Country, are now considered timeless classics.

Mrs. Simms' Fun Cooking Guide is for anyone and everyone interested in bringing into their kitchens the distinct culinary spirit and traditions of South Louisiana. Allen Simms, son of Myrtle and owner of A Drink to Your Health Juice Bar and Health-Food Restaurants, reintroduces to a new generation of cooks and connoisseurs his mother's original, self-published cookbook, featuring award-winning recipes and delightful narrative.

A French edition is also available from Pelican.
