They have over 5,000 titles and an extensive Creole Cajun section. They are at 631 Toulose St. They ship very inexpensively and take special orders graciously. I found my "storm replacement" copies there. Do you know about Kitchen Witch Cookbook store in the French Quarter? They have over 5,000 titles and an extensive Creole Cajun section.

I was born and raised in Louisiana. My in laws live in Metarie now and we just got back from a family reunion. Their home was damaged in H.K. and it was nice to get back to the crawfish boils, fresh fried catfish, and the gumbo. I am going to use your File' gumbo recipe tomorrow. I can't wait! Anyway, your collection of recipes really hit home for me and my husband. I love this site and will continue to visit it constantly. Thanks again, We'll be seein' ya.

I grew up on the West Bank so I'm very familiar with New Orleans and the culture, as well as the food. You're doing a remarkable job documenting a truly unique and outstanding cuisine and I hope you continue this project indefinitely. As for the cookbooks, two that I didn't see on your list that you may find of interest are "La Bouche Creole II" and "The Frank Davis Seafood Notebook". I like both of the Soniat books for the recipes but also for the background information on the culture of the area. I believe that "Creole II" was completed by Leon Soniat's wife after his death. The Frank Davis book is also very interesting - a lot of good tips on seafood and is more of a "working man's" cookbook - not fancy but some good dishes. Wayne Danno,
