Crescent City
Cooking includes all the recipes that have made Susan
Spicer, and her restaurants, famous. Spicer marries traditional
Southern cooking with culinary influences from around the world, and
the result is New Orleans cooking with gusto and flair. Each of her
familiar yet unique recipes is easy to make and wonderfully memorable.
Inside you'll find:
- More than 170 recipes, ranging from traditional
New Orleans dishes (Cornmeal-Crusted Crayfish Pies and Cajun-Spiced
Pecans) to Susan’s very own twists on down-home cuisine
(Smoked Duck Hash in Puff Pastry with Apple Cider Sauce; Grilled Shrimp
with Black Bean Cakes and Coriander Sauce) and, of course, a recipe for
the best gumbo you’ve ever tasted
- Over 90 photographs by Times-Picayune
photographer Chris Granger, which display the vibrant city of New
Orleans as much as Spicer’s wonderfully offbeat yet classy
way of presenting her dishes
- Instructions that make Spicer’s
down-to-earth but extraordinarily creative recipes easy to prepare.
Spicer, who cooks for two picky preteens and packs lunch every day for
her husband, knows how precious time can be and understands just how
much is enough.
