Justin Wilson Looking Back: A Cajun Cookbook
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This culinary trend-setter has taken a look back over his more than three decades as a Cajun cook to select some of his favorite recipes. These recipes serve to illustrate not just the development of his personal cooking style, but also that of the Cajun cuisine that he helped to pioneer.
Wilson's commentaries and remembrances complement his recipes in a prosaic style that is as well known, and as unique, as the recipes themselves. Pictures of his friends and family who played integral roles in the development of his culinary techniques accompany the text of this cookbook, which is "garonteed" to help the cook "pass a good time" in the kitchen.
Justin Wilson is internationally known as a Cajun cook and humorist. He is a veteran of both writing cookbooks and preparing his dishes on his public broadcasting television programs for people across the country to enjoy. The companion television series to Justin Wilson Looking Back: A Cajun Cookbook is currently under production for the Public Broadcasting System.
About the Author
Justin Wilson wears many hats in addition to his chef's hat. In fact, he doesn't even wear a chef's hat because he doesn't consider himself a chef. He is the first to say that he is Cajun cook-not a chef. He is a humorist-not a comedian-who has appeared on television programs across the country, including The Tonight Show.
When not cooking, Justin may wear a hard hat, since for many years he worked as a safety engineer. He also wears the hat of a storyteller and weaves his stories into his books and his cooking shows aired on Public Broadcasting Systems throughout the country. Justin also wears the hats of raconteur extraordinaire and goodwill ambassador of the Cajun people of Louisiana.
Justin Wilson learned much of what he knows about cooking from his mother. He took that knowledge, developed his personal cooking style, and helped to pioneer the Cajun cuisine that caught the country by storm when he appeared at the ABA in 1974.
