New Orleans is food. One can spend a happy lifetime exploring the city and its cuisine. These two books offer a quick but thorough introduction.
This is the 1901 edition of the Picayune newspaper's book which catalogued, preserved, and continues to popularize traditional Creole cooking. As a result of the Picayune's visionary effort, Louisiana's cooking is today not only America's most distinctive and widely-acclaimed cuisine, but it also arguably the most important single factor in the preservation and celebration of New Orleans' culture.

This recent book by Patricia Mitchell includes an information-packed summary of Louisiana food from the early settlement to today. See further information and ordering instructions.
