Swamp Country Cooking: Cajun, Bayou, Southern River Recipes

Down on the bayou, we are taught from a young age how to live off the land and water if we have to, knowing that nothing in life is a sure thing. Most families in our neck of the swamp, have a fisherman, or hunter or two in the household, who brings home wild game and fish to cook for supper, and keeps our freezers filled until Hurricane Season. When a storm hits, flood waters rise, or someone is getting married, or divorced, a new young'un is on the way, or someone has gone to meet the Good Lord, we come together in The Riverhood and cook something to soothe our souls. This cookbook is a collection of recipes and pictures from the River People, aka, Swamp People, Swampers, River Rats, and Rajun Cajuns, that will show and tell you about our unique way of life and good cooking. Bon Appetite!
