Summary: Eating great...New Orleans style!
Comment: When my wife and I recently visited the Commander's Palace restaurant and sat at the Chef's Table (located in the kitchen where you are pampered by the staff), current Executive Chef Tory McPhail wrote "Eating great...New Orleans style!" on a menu he signed as a memento of our visit. Not only was he right about the food we had at Commander's Palace that evening, but he also provides a short and to the point description for this cookbook.
This book is a must for those that "live to eat" (as opposed to those that "eat to live") and truly enjoy the New Orleans and Creole food styles. The recipes we've tried so far have turned out wonderfully (the recipe for the Chocolate Molten Souflee alone is almost worth the price of the book) and, thus far, have been easy to follow. The narratives provided by the authors about both the food and the restaurant itself are a great addition to the great recipes.
I would recommend this book, and the restaurant, to anyone.

Summary: Buy this book
Comment: Commander's Palace-My favorite restaurant in the world! Everyone should visit their restaurant in New Orleans. The service is wonderful and the food can't be beat. That is unless you try the recipes in this book.
The head chief and one of the family owners wrote this book. The recipes are generally Creole with some Cajun thrown in. The book blends New Orleans tradition, family/restaurant history, recipes and most importantly tips on preparation. The stories are intriguing and I have read this book from cover to cover.
One of my favorite sections is the "Commander's Kitchen Pantry." This section is made up of basic ingredients recipe-such as Creole seasonings, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and various breads. I have used these basics in my own cooking-adding much flavor.
The only knock that I have with this book is that certain recipes fall into the trap that many chef written books. Many recipes assume that you read between the lines. For example, the New Orleans Style Barbecue Shrimp doesn't recommend that you remove the shrimp from the pan before you create the wonderful shrimp. If you don't do this, the shrimp will overcook. Another example is that I burned the Spicy pecans I still haven't figured it out why; maybe by not using an insulated a pan or maybe the temperature was too high...
Recipes I would try tonight are: New Orleans style barbecue shrimp, bread pudding soufflé, crab and corn Johnny Cakes with caviar, and Jambalaya. This is a great book to add to your kitchen.

Summary: Brings fond memories to mind
Comment: If you want to remember your meals at Commander's and perhaps try one or two of the dishes on a slow weekend, you will want this on your shelf. At the same time, it will be the occasional book, not one to reach for time and again.
