With New Orleans Food, Tom presents more than 250 great New Orleans recipes designed for the home cook, all steeped in the Creole and Cajun traditions, yet updated to reflect contemporary tastes and ingredients. From small plates (Shrimp Remoulade with Two Sauces) to main courses (Redfish Herbsaint, Root Beer-Glazed Ham) to desserts and drinks (Bananas Foster, Beignets, and Cafe au Lait), these are dishes both elegant and casual, traditional and evolved. Whether you are nostalgic for the taste of New Orleans or simply love good food, New Orleans Food should find a place on your cookbook shelf. Now every Monday, everywhere, can be red-beans-and-rice day.

Has anyone bought this cookbook yet? How is it? I'm thinking of buying it to help support the New Orleans rebuild.

I've seen a wide discrepancy in the prices though. But the one from the original poster would be signed.

I ordered direct from Tom and it came right away autographed to me. I will be cooking some from it this next week.
