From “a pioneering scholar of Southern and Jewish food traditions,” Cajun cooking recipes that adhere completely to the laws of Kashruth (The Jewish News).
 
Cajun cuisine and the kosher kitchen—an incompatible combination? Not with this exciting collection of kashruth-approved delicacies.

From the heart of Louisiana, Mildred Covert and Sylvia Gerson adapt the rich traditions of Acadiana to the kosher kitchen. Just as they successfully fuse Jewish and Creole cooking in Kosher Creole Cookbook, they again innovate with a Cajun flair.

Tour Acadiana and visit the soul of Cajun territory: Lafayette, St. Martinville, New Iberia, Bayou Lafourche, and other bayou country locales. The authors highlight important cultural notes about each stop and provide kosher recipes that authentically duplicate the celebrated flavors of each area of south Louisiana.

From the Back Cover

"Covert [is] a pioneering scholar of Southern and Jewish food traditions."
--The Jewish News

Cajun cuisine and the kosher kitchen-an incompatible combination? Not with this exciting collection of kashruth-approved delicacies.

From the heart of Louisiana, Mildred Covert and Sylvia Gerson adapt the rich traditions of Acadiana to the kosher kitchen. Just as they successfully fused Jewish and Creole cooking in Kosher Creole Cookbook, also published by Pelican, they again innovate with a Cajun flair.

In this volume of savory dishes, kosher--with its prohibition of cooking with shellfish, shrimp, crab, and turtle--and Cajun--which relies heavily upon these ingredients for its hot, spicy gumbos, �touff�es, and jambalayas-have been successfully fused. By skillful adaptation of substitute ingredients, the results are dishes with authentic flavors that are at the same time both kosher and Cajun.

Mildred Covert learned the art of cooking at her grandmother's knee. Because of her own strong ethnic background and her love of her native New Orleans, she began to experiment with the best of both worlds. As a wife, mother, and career woman, Sylvia Gerson always found time to involve herself with her synagogue and community. Covert and Gerson are also the authors of the Pelican titles Kosher Southern-Style Cookbook and A Kid's Kosher Cooking Cruise.

5.0 out of 5 stars looks great to me

The recipes look yummy and I can't wait to try some of them. I purchased all three books and I'm very happy with them. I'm Native American, Scot-Irish, Creole, and Black and I found nothing offensive in any of these books. I'm sorry I listened to another review and delayed ordering these.

This book seems to be more for enjoyable reading than for actual cooking.

This review requires too many words; more words are not needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars quintessential New Orleans recipes
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2008
If you only bought this book for two recipes, it would be worth the price. If you want K.Paul's recipe
for blackened Red Fish, you've got it here: Shvarzadik RedfFish. The real New Orleans bread pudding:
Bayou Lafourche Bread Pudding. We've got an autographed 1987 edition and the cover is as ragged as
21 years of use would indicate.
