Reviews"[This] deeply informed and plainly heartfelt investigation into New Orleans' finest food traditions taps into a cornucopia of cultural riches." -- Elle "An endearing collection of stories from the seven years [Sara Roahen] spent in the Crescent City, learning to embrace its unapologetically decadent cuisine. It is part culinary history, part memoir and part homage to places that have since been erased." -- Salon "Informative, engaging and amusing . . . has the not-surprising effect of leaving the reader's mouth watering." -- Jonathan Yardley (Washington Post) "This is the book to lead you, rejoicing, to your favorite restaurant, or fire up that kitchen stove to make a batch of gumbo for your mama 'n' dem. This book is a joy to read, a pleasure to pass along, a book to treasure. It leaves you hungry in your body, satisfied in your soul." -- New Orleans Times-Picayune

SynopsisCelebrating New Orleans food culture, one specialty at a time, Roahens stories of personal discovery in her beloved adopted city introduce readers to New Orleans well-known signatures--gumbo, po-boys, red beans and rice--and its lesser-known gems., Celebrating New Orleans' food culture, one specialty at a time. A cocktail is more than a segue to dinner when it's a Sazerac, an anise-laced drink of rye whiskey and bitters indigenous to New Orleans. For Wisconsin native Sara Roahen, a Sazerac is also a fine accompaniment to raw oysters, a looking glass into the cocktail culture of her own family--and one more way to gain a foothold in her beloved adopted city. Roahen's stories of personal discovery introduce readers to New Orleans' well-known signatures--gumbo, po-boys, red beans and rice--and its lesser-known gems: the pho of its Vietnamese immigrants, the braciolone of its Sicilians, and the ya-ka-mein of its street culture. By eating and cooking her way through a place as unique and unexpected as its infamous turducken, Roahen finds a home. And then Katrina. With humor, poignancy, and hope, she conjures up a city that reveled in its food traditions before the storm--and in many ways has been saved by them since., A cocktail is more than a segue to dinner when it's a Sazerac, an anise-laced drink of rye whiskey and bitters indigenous to New Orleans.
