Cinfhen On my wish list!! I‘d love to visit New Orleans 6y

LittleBug I brought one souvenir back from New Orleans when we visited a few years ago: a cook book😊 For me, the food was one of the most fascinating things about the city☺️ 6y

NovelGirl82 My fave city!! I miss home & being able to go often. I try to make a girls' trip with my best friend once a year now, but haven't made it in the last two. 6y

This is the kind of book, with self-contained chapters focused on food like red beans and rice, Sazerac cocktails and, yes, gumbo, that invited a lengthy, browsing reading. Which I did. Heartbreaking and hopeful to read about rebuilding after Katrina
