The 100 Greatest New Orleans Creole Recipes

The very best of Louisiana cuisine from the former chef and proprietor of the legendary Antoine’s.

From restaurateur and French-trained chef Roy F. Guste, Jr., The 100 Greatest New Orleans Creole Recipes presents a selection of choice recipes ranging from “Haute Creole” entrées like daube glacée to hearty red beans and rice. For generations, these dishes have graced the tables of famous dining establishments and family kitchen tables alike, proving their universal appeal and enduring popularity.

Chef Guste has simplified the steps of some his grander recipes, testing each one using only four saucepans, a skillet, and the bare minimum of utensils. The key to producing authentic Creole food, as he emphasizes, is the simplicity of the process and the freshness of the ingredients. Follow these recipes and you can create the true flavor of Louisiana.

Accompanying these recipes are beautiful period illustrations, as well as reminiscences and anecdotes of the recipes’ origins that only a few other true Louisianians would know. With gumbos, bisques, blackened dishes, appetizers, drinks, and desserts, this book makes Creole dining equally elegant and effortless.
