Pirate's Pantry: Treasured Recipes of Southwest Louisiana

I use this weekly! I wish I would've bought a spiral as it's easier to flip while cooking. Amazing recipes that I continuously use!

I've had (earlier printing - plastic bound) version of this cook book for at least 25 years. I absolutely love it. Unfortunately, after much use the binding broke and my cook book was a total mess, although I still frequently used it. I actually went online to order one for my new daughter-in-law and was delighted to see it in hard cover. So, I bought four (my daughter-in-law, my daughter, one as a gift for a friend and another for myself). I am delighted with the quality of this cook book. I come from a long line of great cajun cooks (my mom and both sister also have the cook book). I've eaten cajun food all of my life. These recipes are delicious, truly cajun and easy to prepare. The informative welcome to each section is a delightful extra. I would strongly recommend this cook book for anyone who enjoys cooking delicious meals. I will purchase them again for gifts for friends and family.

Just love this cook book. Cajun cooking is very flavorful. The recipes our truly written from the heart.

Having grown up in the Lake Charles area, many of these recipes and family names are familiar to me.I use it as a reminder and starting point for digging up my own family recipes from memory.100% authentic Louisiana Cooking...exactly like somebodies momma made it.

Great cookbook. Recipes for everything Louisiana.I love it.

This is my favorite cookbook I bought them for presents for my grandchildren

I recommend it

This is a great little cook book written by folks living in the Lake Charles area of southern Louisiana. The recipes are very easy to follow, all sorts of good cooking tips and cool stories about a very interesting part of the country. In fact I'd go so far to say there isn't another cook book out there that is quite like this one. Way to go Junior League of Lake Charles!
