Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Creamy cauliflower soup

    • babyfork on April 08, 2020

      This was good, but tasted about as you'd expect. A little boring. I salted it right on the edge. The next day I heated up a little ghee and cooked about a teaspoon of curry powder in it for a minute or two. Then added some of the soup and reheated it. I liked this better.

      Simple. Delicious. Perfect.

  • Day-after-Thanksgiving turkey gumbo

    • Baxter850 on December 24, 2021

      Great way to use a leftover turkey carcass. Good dish. Can still dial it in a little more. Will come back to this one next Thanksgiving!

  • Grilled okra

    • Baxter850 on August 31, 2024

      Delicious and simple! Get young okra.

  • Monday's red beans & rice

    • Baxter850 on August 21, 2021

      Added a little creole seasoning to spice it up. Like my beans a bit creamier (blended about a quarter of the pot).

In Besh Big Easy: 101 Home-Cooked New Orleans Recipes, award-winning chef John Besh makes his favorite hometown cooking accessible to a wide audience of cooks and readers.

In this, his fourth book, the award-winning chef John Besh takes another deep dive into the charm and authenticity of the cuisine of his hometown, New Orleans. Besh Big Easy: 101 Home-Cooked New Orleans Recipes, is a fresh and delightful new look at his signature food. Besh Big Easy will feature all new recipes, published in a refreshing new flexibound format and accessible to cooks everywhere. Much has changed since Besh wrote his bestselling My New Orleans in 2009. His restaurant empire has grown from two to nine acclaimed eateries, from the highly praised Restaurant August to the just opened farm-to-table taqueria, Johnny Sanchez. John's television career has blossomed as well. He’s become known to millions as host of two national public television cooking shows based on his books and of Hungry Investors on Spike TV. Besh Big Easy is dedicated to accessibility. "There's no reason a good jambalaya needs two dozen ingredients," John says. In this book, jambalaya has less than ten, but sacrifices nothing in the way of flavor. With 101 original, personal recipes such as Mr. Sam’s Stuffed Crabs, Duck Camp Shrimp & Grits, and Silver Queen Corn Pudding, Besh Big Easy is chock-full of the vivid personality that has made John Besh such a popular American culinary icon.
