Synopses & Reviews
Beignets, muffaletta, and gumbo are just a few of the dishes that define the culinary life of the eccentric and diverse New Orleans, Louisiana. In Creole Nouvelle: Contemporary Creole Cookery, Joseph Carey has collected the best of the new Creole food with the help of an award-winning roster of chefs from well-known Big Easy restaurants. These culinary masters have redefined the traditional bread pudding, jambalaya, and boudin by creating tantalizing modern dishes using local produce and seafood as well as imported cheeses, meats, and wines. Along with Careys own creations, Creole Nouvelle includes the gourmet secrets five high-profile culinary artists were willing to share. For the armchair travelers and experimental chefs who crave genuine Creole cuisine but wont be in New Orleans anytime soon, Creole Nouvelle, with almost 175 recipes and gorgeous full-color photo spreads, will easily transport the reader to the Crescent City. Whether youre looking for a fresh, modern dish like Pan-Seared Scallops with Balsamic Vinegar & Ginger Beurre Blanc or want to recreate the fun Twelfth Night Kings Cake (Gateau de Roi), Creole Nouvelle is a cookbook of eclectic and quintessentially American cuisine alike.

Crescent City cuisine, Carey produced this survey of thoroughly updated
New Orleans classics that respect their roots without being
predictable." Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis
Traditional New Orleans restaurants, such as Galatoire's, Commander's Palace, Delmonico's, and Arnaud's, advocates of old ways, are attracting first-timers and tourists. Conversely, Gourmet magazine, AAA, and other top fine dining publications consistently award cutting-edge restaurants such as Bayona and Peristyle with top honors because of the trendy cuisines they have brought to New Orleans and the area. Just as Jeremiah Tower and Deborah Madison redefined San Francisco cuisine in the '70s and the Gang of Five revolutionized Southwestern eating in the '80s, Susan Spicer, John Harris, Anne Kearney, Peter Vazquez, and Donald Link are redefining the Creole standard today. In homage to these fresh ideas, Creole Nouvelle features the New Orleans chefs who use local produce and seafood and bring in the best artisanal cheeses, meats, and wines from around the nation and the world. Creole Nouvelle redefines traditional recipes of the genre while offering wonderful dishes from today's top chefs. This book is truly a new take on a classic cuisine that will have both the novice cook and seasoned gourmand salivating.
