While king cakes are typically only available during Carnival season, readers can enjoy this book year-round. From the traditional cakes generations of New Orleanians have loved, to the unconventional creations that break all the rules, this book is your guide to the Crescent City's favorite baked good. The Big Book of King Cake is for anyone who loves food, history, sweets, culture, and of course, New Orleans.

“Makes you want to spend a week—immediately—in New Orleans.” —Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg, Wall Street Journal A cocktail is more than a segue to dinner when it’s a Sazerac, an anise-laced drink of rye whiskey and bitters indigenous to New Orleans. For Wisconsin native Sara Roahen, a Sazerac is also a fine accompaniment to raw oysters, a looking glass into the cocktail culture of her own family—and one more way to gain a foothold in her beloved adopted city. Roahen’s stories of personal discovery introduce readers to New Orleans’ well-known signatures—gumbo, po-boys, red beans and rice—and its lesser-known gems: the pho of its Vietnamese immigrants, the braciolone of its Sicilians, and the ya-ka-mein of its street culture. By eating and cooking her way through a place as unique and unexpected as its infamous turducken, Roahen finds a home. And then Katrina. With humor, poignancy, and hope, she conjures up a city that reveled in its food traditions before the storm—and in many ways has been saved by them since.

Welcome to a culinary journey dedicated to the renowned Po'Boy sandwiches! This cookbook pays homage to the Louisiana's beloved classic, a sandwich that captures the essence of the region's soulful cuisine. The Po'Boy is not merely a meal but a cultural symbol, born out of resilience during the Great Depression in New Orleans. In 1929, two brothers, Benny and Clovis Martin, former streetcar conductors, opened a sandwich shop in New Orleans. Witnessing the struggles of the striking streetcar drivers, affectionately known as "Poor Boys," the Martin brothers generously offered them free sandwiches. These sandwiches featured affordable ingredients like roast beef or fried seafood nestled within a French bread loaf. The Po'Boy's popularity quickly extended beyond the striking workers, captivating the hearts of locals and visitors alike. The term "Po'Boy" became synonymous with this sandwich, and today, it is celebrated worldwide with a myriad of flavors and fillings, making it a delectable and inclusive choice for any occasion. This cookbook stands as a tribute to the iconic Po'Boy sandwich and the vibrant culinary heritage of Louisiana. It presents a collection of recipes that honor tradition while embracing innovation, showcasing the versatility and captivating flavors of this beloved sandwich.

Food writer Kate Gibbs grew up at the apron strings of her grandmother, Margaret Fulton. The matriarch of Australian cooking taught Kate everything she needed to know, including how to make bereavement soup, how thickly to spread butter on bread and that porridge must absolutely be made with salt. In this privileged glimpse into a modern food dynasty, Kate reveals some of the highs and lows from the life of her extraordinary grandmother, as well as her own experiences growing up 'foodie'. This rich legacy has informed Kate's career and inspired her to talk to a new generation about the joys of cooking and the importance of good, real food. As well as chronicling her own journey, Kate has distilled this kitchen wisdom into fifty beautifully photographed recipes, a mixture of classic dishes such as Scotch broth and homemade crumpets that recall Margaret's Scottish heritage, to Kate's modern takes on slow-roasted lamb shoulder and custard-filled chocolate profiteroles. These are the recipes that both women grew up with, and which endure as family favourites. Pull up a chair and enjoy.
