I've used mine so much that I may need a rubber band together. And i can't replace it as the hard-bound edition, like mine is out of print. BOO!

She lived for many years in Natchitoches and was a well known outdoorswoman and writer. Family lore has it that she basically gave Grits Gresham his start in his profession. Stories about Mimi are endless. She wrote two cookbooks which were out of print for many years but my father informs me they are now available again. The titles are: Mary Land's Louisiana Cookery, The Louisiana University Press, 1954, and New Orleans Cuisine, also through Louisiana University Press. She also wrote many cooking columns for magazines like Southern Outdoor Living and others which escape me at the moment. If you can find any of them I think you would find them of value for your collection. Robert Land Danno,

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,
