Murder Etouffee

Author: Eric Wilder

When visiting New Orleans years ago, I searched for a book that would give me a quick feel for the City—a collection of information and ideas about culture and cuisine, along with a historical overview. Sadly, no such document existed. I wrote "Murder Etouffee" to correct this vacancy and to provide visitors to the Big Easy with a wealth of ideas and information to help them enjoy their stay in the city. "Murder Etouffee" is a collection of stories about Louisiana and New Orleans in particular. It also contains regional recipes and cooking tips that embody Creole and Cajun cuisine—stories and recipes giving readers an authentic "feel" for the people of New Orleans. Lagniappe is a French word meaning a gift or something extra, and "Murder Etouffee" gives its readers a "little something extra," taking them on a whimsical and historical tour of one of the most unique regions in the United States—a region recently subjected to the worst natural disaster in the history of this country.

French Food or Royers Round Top Cafe A Relational Odyssey

French Food: On the Table, on the Page, and in French Culture

Author: Lawrence R Schehr

French identity is a matter of taste-or palate, to be more precise. Food permeates the very idea of "Frenchness"-from the literary feasts of Marcel Proust to the culinary feats of Julia Child, from foie gras to the french fry. French Food is an entertaining and insightful look at the way people cook, eat, market, talk, and write about French cuisine.
More than a book about food alone, French Food uses diet as a window into issues of nationality, literature, and culture in France and abroad. Outstanding contributors from cultural studies, literary criticism, performance studies, and the emerging field of food studies explore a wide range of food matters: the history of French cooking, the intersections of taste and class, the aesthetics of cuisine, French food as nation building, novelists who use gastronomic details to spice up literary personas, and even the sexuality of a French dish. Revealing substance in a French meal beyond mere sustenance, this delicious volume is sure to sharpen your mind as well as your palate.
