FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Mémères Country Creole Cookbook showcases regional dishes and cooking styles associated with the ""German Coast,"" a part of southeastern Louisiana located along the Mississippi River north of New Orleans. This rural community, originally settled by German and French immigrants, produced a vibrant cuisine comprised of classic New Orleans Creole dishes that also feature rustic Cajun flavors and ingredients.A native and longtime resident of the German Coast, Nancy Tregre Wilson focuses on foods she learned to cook in the kitchens of her great-grandmother (Mémère), her Cajun French grandmother (Mam Papaul), and her own mother. Each instilled in Wilson a passion for the flavors and traditions that define this distinct Cajun Creole cuisine. Sharing family recipes as well as those collected from neighbors and friends, Wilson adds personal anecdotes and cooking tips to ensure others can enjoy the specialty dishes of this region.The book features over two hundred recipes, including dishes like crab-stuffed shrimp, panéed meat with white gravy, red bean gumbo, and mirliton salad, as well as some of the areas staple dishes, such as butterbeans with shrimp, galettes (flattened, fried bread squares), tea cakes, and ""lil coconut pies."" Wilson also offers details of traditional rituals like her familys annual November boucherie and the process for preparing foods common in early-twentieth-century Louisiana but rarely served today, such as pig tails and blood boudin. Pairing historic recipes with Wilsons memories of life on the German Coast, Mémères Country Creole Cookbook documents the culture and cuisine of an often-overlooked part of the South. Author Biography For almost forty years, Louisiana native Nancy Tregre Wilson owned and operated Louisiana Gourmet Enterprises, Inc., a food specialty business that produced the Mam Papauls brand of dinner and cake mixes. Her other books include Mam Papauls Country Creole Basket, Louisianas Italians, Food, and Folkways, and Lorraine Gendron: Louisiana Folk Artist. Review Nancy Tregre Wilsons food memoir brought me home again to Louisianas German Coast. I savored the flavor of boyhood memories like set nets, shrimp boxes in the Mississippi River, and iron kettles boiling with spoils of the boucherie. And, I savored the flavor of recipes, preserved on scraps of paper from family members long gone. Any Louisiana cookbook that can bring tears to your eyes before you dice the onions--while also including recipes for Blackbird Jambalaya and Poule Deaux Gumbo--is a delicious addition to your library collection!--Chef John Folse, author of The Encyclopedia of Cajun & Creole CuisineWhat a joy of a cookbook! Just reading those heritage recipes with ingredients that I remember from my childhood reminds me how important it is for us to introduce each subsequent generation to the family table. Pure food. Delicious food. And the passing of the secrets of civilization in the kitchen and across the table.--Elizabeth Williams, coauthor of Lift Your Spirits: A Celebratory History of Cocktail Culture in New Orleans Review Quote What a joy of a cookbook!
