Day 173: Julia Reed's New Orleans

Chatting Books Online Day 173.  Today's recommended book Julia Reed's New Orleans celebrates not only the food and fun of our favorite city but I am also choosing it today to celebrate the life of author Julia Red who we lost too soon almost a week ago.  This beautiful book was just published in 2019.  It gives full, lush pictures of several parties with friends in and around  New Orleans while also giving lavish descriptions of the parties and their settings as well as all of the fabulous recipes. 

As the subtitle says this is a book intended to show" Food, Fun, and Field Trips for Letting The Good Times Roll".  How perfect could that be ?  It gives everything from festival foods (crawfish and strawberries) to a Mardi Gras Brunch. a St Patrick's Day unch, and even an Aoili Dinner along Italian Feast, and The Classics among several others. 

Do you need the recipe for Peter Patout's Famous Satsumacello (of course  you do).  A description of how to make the perfect Tapenade?  Why, Yes! A recipe for a fantastic seafood gumbo , and one for potato salad in case that is the way you roll.  How about Judy's Fried Eggplant with Galatoire's "Table " Sauce - my mouth is watering.   And So Many More . 

I hope you celebrate both your life and  Julia's with foods from her fabulous books today. 

This beautiful hardcover book has 223 pages and sells for $ 50.00 a copy .
