Roy Guste's "upcoming" New Orleans cookbook?

[johung]

Hi all,

I have read a few promotional biographies of Roy Guste (former owner of Antoine's restaurant in New Orleans and author of "Antoine's Restaurant Cookbook". It appears that Guste had been working on a new book called "The New Orleans Cookbook" that "explains the history of the development of true cuisine of New Orleans, Creole Cuisine, with some 800 recipes of all levels of dishes from the simplest and most often prepared of local recipes to renditions of the famous dishes of the great New Orleans restaurants." (taken from Guste's personal website http://www.royguste.com/ )

Does anyone know if this book is still in the works or been canned due to external factors?

Thanks,

I haven't heard a word about it. Doesn't mean it's not still happening, but he's keeping it quiet.
