New John Besh Cookbook Available

John Besh, a local favorite and nationally recognized chef, has just published his first cookbook. My New Orleans: The Cookbook includes not only recipes but also the stories behind some of our region's classic dishes. The recipes center around fresh, seasonal, local ingredients - one of the keys to great cooking.

Though the cookbook is a bit pricey, it features a generous 200 recipes with some narrative and, judging by the sample pages, is put together beautifully...we were getting hungry just from the sneak peek! A signed copy of the book is available on Besh's website for about $50, or you can save $20 by ordering an unsigned copy at Amazon.  The book would make a great Christmas present for foodies, aspriring chefs, and home cooks. But don't worry about getting one for us - we just ordered our copy!
