Folks expressed interest in seeing more recipes from this book when I posted about it the other day, so here are a few more that I thought looked good. It’s not a cookbook per se, rather a memoir with a few recipes scattered throughout. Very entertaining read, highly recommend!
I’ve been reading Duncan Hines’ Food Odyssey, 1955. If you like food, travel, and history, I highly recommend this fun read.
He gives a recipe from Arnaud’s in New Orleans for Shrimp Arnaud, and I made it tonight! Kind of a cold shrimp cocktail/salad. Very easy, and surprisingly tasty. Will be a summer staple for sure!
