The author takes into account the modern regional popular culture in examining traditional foodways of the Cajuns. Based upon her meticulous field research, this book includes detailed descriptions of ingredients, dishes, cooking aesthetics, and events that center on Cajun food. The author describes and analyzes "crawfish boils" and other special Cajun food events and explains how foodways are enlisted in the expression of ethnic identity. As this. Study shows, Cajuns claim to be unusually food-oriented, unusually talented in preparing of foods, and unusual in their ability to enjoy food. Cajuns' attention to their own traditional foodways is more than merely nostalgia or a clever marketing ploy to lure tourists and sell local products.
