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.
