[.ca] Justin Wilson's Homegrown Louisiana Cookin' (ISBN 0026301253)

Whoooo Boy, dat some good eatin'.:
I used to watch Justin Wilson's cooking show on PBS. His wit made the show worthwhile. The recipes in this book make it worthwhile. I haven't made them all, but the ones I did make are outstanding. My hat's off to Justin. Jus' add a little wine wit dat and den it's did.

To the reader from Queenstown Maryland.:
I doubt very seriously you own this book. For one, to say Justin Wilson is not from Cajun Country is like saying the Pope isn't Catholic. (just so you know Justin was born and reared in Amite, LA) And anyone familiar with cajun or creole cooking knows that the TRINITY is Onions, Green Pepper, and Celery (CELERY, not garlic, though garlic is very good, its not part of the trinity). Further to call Justin Wilson a mediocre man is ludicrous. Justin Wilson was doing his thing long before that "thing" got you your own sitcom. I am afraid you (and the guy from Alabama) have Justin confused with another popular so called "cajun" chef. Jutin Wilson is as authentic as they come. His recipes are as authentic as they come. They are ground in the "old" ways. This cookbook is considered a "bible" in many kitchens, and I HIGHLY reccommend it to anyone interested in learning a little bit about TRUE cajun cooking from a MAN who learned his technique from those passed down from generations. Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!.

I love cooking again!!!!:
Tired of the same old baked, fried, and broiled poultry and seafood? Homegrown is exactly what your family needs, even the kids start to expect nothing less after a couple of dishes prepared from Justin's Book. The best part of all, the ingredients are at your local grocery store, Friends and Family will think you have started to take gourmet cooking class,(wink!).Get Homegrown Lousiana Cooking to spicy up your cooking!!!!

Homegrown Louisiana Cookin':
This book was a gift to me by my in-laws; therefore, they now can come over any time they want. I've gotten quiet a few cook books and this is the best one yet. He goes into great detail in his roux, jambalaya and gumbo recipes which are some of my favorites. He also gives good tips that will help in preparing seafood and he likes it spicy. We also share a passion for wine. Justin's cajun accent and his mixed in comedy are definately a treat. He's my cooking hero!

Good Cajun Food...... Gar-on-tee!!!!:
I had only recently heard of Justin Wilson. My husband and I love cajun food and I wanted to learn how to make it at home. Someone told me about him and a new fan was born!!! My husband bought me this book and another of Justin's to start out with. The recipes are simple and delicious. I had no trouble making them, even as a first-timer. You can interchange a lot of the different kinds of meat as well - for example with the crawfish etoufee, we have made with shrimp as well as petite lobster. The little stories in his book are entertaining as well. If you enjoy eating cajun, you will love this book!!!
