Product Description: Gulf coast food is a melting pot of several Native American cuisines and foods brought to the shores by Creole, Mexican, Cuban, West Indian, Dutch, African, Spanish, Italian, and French settlers. "A Taste of the Gulf Coast" includes about 200 recipes from these traditions, some revised to suit lighter, contemporary tastes. 30 photos and line drawings.
Amazon.com Review: If you're planning a visit to America's Gulf Coast, it's time to prepare: there's more to the good life than hot beaches and cold drinks; there's food as well. The Gulf Coast, including Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, melds flavors and fancies of Creole, Mexican, Cuban, West Indian, Dutch, African, Spanish, Italian, and French settlers in its cuisine, so it would be a shame to spend your vacation gumming burgers when you could be mopping up plates of Crawfish Étouffé, Pompano Almondine, Sticky Chicken, and Couche Couche. But Jessie Tirsch's text will do more than familiarize you with delectables to enjoy on vacation, it'll allow you to extend the holiday, culinarily speaking, when you get home.
