I am definitely buying his cookbook. Checked it out at the library and everything we have tried is off the charts. The whitebean, ham, and collard stew was a big hit as well as the oyster blt’s, oh and I almost forgot that incredible meatloaf. We are excited to eat at one of the restaraunts when in New Orleans.

Ok, I know I’m late in catching up here, but I need to add this to my collection.
Thanks for the complete and thorough review.

I agree. I’ve done the brisket-which is the ultimate in simplicity and then did it for the monthly cooking class. The chocolate yummy-sold forty orders of it at $9.00 a slice two weeks ago and i get phone calls and emails demanding we do it again. The only thing I’ve done from it so far that did not turn out was the lemon meringue pie-but I’m sure I’m at fault-will try again. I must say that I really enjoy Susan Spicer’s book-it’s a bit more involved for the most part but everything “works”.

I bought a copy of “Real Cajun” about 2 months ago at Sam’s, gotta good price.

Chef Donald Link seems like a real down to earth guy.

My favorite picture is the fish camp on page 146.

My favorite recipe is the Crab cakes with Jalapeno Remoulade and the Chicken and Dumplings.

I like the family atmosphere that is through out the book.

Way to go Donald!

The fried chicken livers with pepper jelly glaze are out of this world.

I love that, even though there was a professional writer assisting, the “voice” is definitely Don Link’s. There are expressions I haven’t heard since childhood — like “wash you hands off” and “catch on fire”. Like others, I read it cover to cover. There are recipes here that I’ve never seen in print, like the pork roast cooked in a roux-based gravy. This is a wonderful book.

This is a great book. I have blasted through about twenty of the recipes. They have been all good. The fried catfish is ridiculous. had I go by more and invite my friends over to have some. The okra and tomatoes are the best I have had. Like I have said it is a very good cookbook. Thanks Chef Link for some more recipes for when I open my place up.

My wonderful daughter brought me a signed first edition home with her for Father’s Day. It has been a great read and I’m looking forward to trying the recipes.
