Publisher Synopsis
"Terri Pischoff Wuerther's "In a Cajun Kitchen" is the real thing---true Cajun cooking. This is an incredible experience spending time with an old Cajun family. You will treasure the stories and love the recipes!"
---Shirley O. Corriher, author of "CookWise: The Secrets of Cooking Revealed"
""In a Cajun Kitchen" rings with the authenticity of food and memory shared across time and place and is destined to become a classic food memoir. Terri Pischoff Wuerthner brings us into her family's Cajun kitchen not only with love, but with a keen cook's eye for the details that make old family recipes work in the modern kitchen. I cooked grits for the first time following Terri's recipe for Cheesy Grits and they are now a stand-by in my kitchen. She is a cook you can trust and a storyteller you can revel in."
---Georgeanne Brennan, Author of "The Food and Flavors of Haute Provence"
