COOKING | LOUISIANA You Are Where You Eat Stories and Recipes from the Neighborhoods of New Orleans Elsa Hahne A tour of the delectable and original from renowned home cooks in the Crescent City E Eating and cooking well are not just industries but ways of life for all New Orleans. Writer and photographer Elsa Hahne has visited the kitchens of thirty-three of New Orleans’s home cooks and raconteurs and has served up an expansive smorgasbord inspired by this vibrant city’s love affair with food. Almost every cultural group that has made its mark on New Orleans is represented in these pages: Creole, African American, Native American, Isleño, German, Cajun, Italian, Irish, Greek, Hungarian, Croatian, Cuban, Honduran, Mexican, Indian, Filipino, Chinese, Vietnamese, and more. With thirty-three first-person accounts and over one hundred black-and-white and full-color photographs, You Are Where You Eat proves that the local population remains as passionate about cooking after the hurricanes of 2005 as at any time before. Among the eighty-five recipes are such classic New Orleans dishes as red beans and rice, catfish court bouillon, crawfish bisque, filé gumbo, grillades, and daube glacé, but also more recent arrivals to local tables: yakamein, pork tamales, crawfish samosas, and Vietnamese spring rolls. Elsa Hahne is the creator of the touring exhibit You Are WHERE You Eat—Stories and Recipes from the Crescent City, which was supported by the Louisiana Division of the Arts and the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. Her work has appeared in numerous international magazines and newspapers.

Frederick Starr With contributions from Karen Leathem, Patricia Kennedy Livingston, Michael Mizell-Nelson, Cynthia LeJeune Nobles, Sharon Stallworth Nossiter, Sara Roahen, and Susan Tucker N New Orleans Cuisine: Fourteen Signature Dishes and Their Histories provides essays on the unparalleled recognition New Orleans has achieved as the Mecca of mealtime. Devoting each chapter to a signature cocktail, appetizer, sandwich, main course, staple, or dessert, contributors from the New Orleans Culinary Collective plate up the essence of the Big Easy through its number one export: great cooking. This book views the city’s cuisine as a whole, forgetting none of its flavorful ethnic influences—French, African American, German, Italian, Spanish, and more. In servings of such well-recognized foods as shrimp remoulade, Creole tomato salad, turtle soup, and bread pudding, contributors explore a broad range of issues. Essays consider the history of refrigeration and ice in the city, famous restaurants, cooking schools, and the differences between Cajun and Creole cuisines. Biographical sketches of New Orleans’s luminaries—including Mary Land, Corinne Dunbar, and Lena Richard—give personality to the stories. Recipes for each dish or beverage, drawn from historical cookbooks and contemporary chefs, complete the package. New Orleans Cuisine shows how ingredients, ethnicities, cooks, chefs, and consumers all converged over time to make the city a culinary capital. Susan Tucker is curator of books and records at the Newcomb Center for Research on Women at Tulane University. S. Frederick Starr is chair of the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute at Johns Hopkins University and the author of many books on New Orleans and Louisiana.

MUSIC | MEMOIR Accordion Dreams A Journey into Cajun and Creole Music Blair Kilpatrick TRAVEL | MUSIC Blues Traveling The Holy Sites of Delta Blues, Third Edition Steve Cheseborough An outsider’s account of her transformative obsession with Louisiana’s joyous music BBy age thirty-nine, Blair Kilpatrick had settled into life as a practicing psychologist, wife, and mother. Then a chance encounter in New Orleans turned her world upside down. She returned home to Chicago with unlikely new passions for Cajun music and its defining instrument, the accordion. Captivated by recurring dreams of playing the Cajun accordion, she set out to master it. Yet she was not a musician, was too self-conscious to dance, and didn’t even sing in the shower. Kilpatrick’s obsession took her from Chicago’s Cajun dance scene to a folk music camp in West Virginia, back and forth to south Louisiana, and even to a Cajun festival in France. An unexpected family move brought her to the San Francisco Bay Area, home to the largest Cajun-zydeco music scene outside the Gulf Coast. There she became a protégé of renowned accordionist Danny Poullard, a Louisiana-born Creole and the guiding spirit of the local Louisiana French music community. Engaging, uplifting, and illuminating a unique patch of the American cultural landscape, Accordion Dreams is Kilpatrick’s account of the possibility of passion, risk-taking, and change—at any age. Blair Kilpatrick has an independent practice in psychotherapy in the San Francisco Bay Area. She also performs and records with Sauce Piquante, a traditional Cajun-Creole band she founded in the late 1990s.

Photographs by Rick Olivier Text by Ben Sandmel Paper $30.00T, 978-1-57806-116-7 “This localized, detailed and lively guidebook to blues music in Mississippi recommends following by car ‘a rough circle beginning and ending in Memphis’ for a comprehensive tour. With maps, specific directions and succinct historical tidbits, Cheseborough describes blues venues as well as points of special interest. A recommended listening section completes the picture.” —Publishers Weekly Expanded and updated, a new edition of the indispensable guidebook to the cradle of the blues “Providing excellent maps and driving instructions. . . . Along the way Cheseborough provides details on the towns, homes, and gravesites of famous blues musicians, buildings where they played, radio stations, sites of music festivals, and current clubs and restaurants that feature the music. Essential.” —Library Journal TThis acclaimed travel guide, hailed as the Bible of blues travelers throughout the world, will shepherd the faithful to such shrines as the intersection where Robert Johnson might have made his deal with the devil and the railroad tracks that inspired Howlin’ Wolf to moan “Smokestack Lightnin’. ” Blues Traveling was the first and is the indisputably essential guidebook to Mississippi’s musical places and its blues history. For this new edition Steve Cheseborough returned to the Delta, revisited all of the locales featured in previous editions of the book, and uncovered fresh destinations. He includes updated material on new festivals, state blues markers, club openings and closings, and many other transformations in the Delta’s ever-lively blues scene. With photographs, maps, easy-to-follow directions, and an informative, entertaining text, this book will lead the reader in and out of Clarksdale, Greenwood, Helena (Arkansas), Rolling Fork, Jackson, Memphis, Natchez, Bentonia, Rosedale, Itta Bena, and dozens of other locales where generations of blues musicians have lived, traveled, and performed. A previous edition was so effective and informative that Real Blues told its readers, “This is THE guide to the Delta; short of living there, it is the best.” Steve Cheseborough is a blues performer, lecturer, tour guide, and writer. His articles have appeared in Acoustic Guitar, Living Blues, Delta Magazine, and Mississippi. His website is www.stevechese borough.com.
