Chef Paul Prudhomme's Pure Magic

It call for Paul Prudhommes seasoning for the recipes. I was disappointed expecially since I was unable to find his seasoning.

This book adapts some of Chef Paul's most popular recipes to use his seasoning blends instead of individual herbs and spices. Many of the recipes start with a stick of butter but that's cajun cooking for you. If you already have Louisiana Kitchen, this book may be a bit redundant. But its compact size makes it easier to use in the kitchen. It also contains some background information and general advice beyond the recipes themselves. If you want to own only one cajun cookbook, this is a great one to have.

Just gave a copy of this cookbook to both my young adult children. This has been one of our family's favorites for a long time. This cookbook started our tradition of seafood gumbo on Christmas Eve. Leave your diet at home and dig in.

Like it very much. I love South Louisiana food, especially Cajun food.

Book is smaller than expected and faded. I should have read the published date before ordering.
