The holidays in Louisiana feature a stunning array of festivities and events where good food, music, and camaraderie abound. This book presents a statewide tour of les fêtes de Noël and provides recipes and activities for the whole family. From the lighting of the bonfire at Oak Alley Plantation to Natchitoches’s Festival of Lights, experience the living culture that the Pelican State has to offer. After a tour of the local entertainment, gather up friends and family and enjoy some of the delicious appetizers, sweet and savory breads, entrées, and desserts included in this beautifully photographed collection.

Separated into geographical sections, the guide covers traditions and happenings in Cajun Country, Sportsman’s Paradise, the Crossroads, Plantation Country, and Greater New Orleans. Contact information is included, along with a description of each festivity. Featured are photographs of the exquisite Hanley-Gueno Neapolitan Presepio Nativity figures, crafted in the eighteenth century, and more than one hundred fifty recipes cover every course for every get-together. You’ll also find family-friendly crafts and activities to keep adults and children celebrating the season all winter long.
