Audubon Plantation Country Cookbook

Author: Anne Butler

Dunleith, Longwood, Asphodel, Parlange, Rosedown -- the very names of these venerable homes, located in the Audubon plantation country of Louisiana and Mississippi, conjure images of shady porches, gracious entertaining, and peerless hospitality. In this volume, author Anne Butler, herself chatelaine of Butler Greenwood Plantation, collects from area residents heirloom recipes, as well as family legends, historical facts, and humorous anecdotes. The recipes in this book range from traditional syllabubs and fried catfish to modern favorites like gazpacho and crawfish fettuccine. Some dishes claim famous origins, like General Grant's Pudding, while others -- for example, the Parlange Seafood Casserole -- are associated with a particular family. There are menus appropriate for any occasion, from a Baptist church supper to an evening cocktail party on the veranda. Each chapter also includes a liberal helping of local lore, from an investigation of the Goat Castle Murder to an explanation of why one should garden "by the moon." Whether she is sharing the Shrimp Remoulade recipe from Natchez's landmark Eola Hotel or revealing the comic roots of the Star Hill Bopotamus Festival, Anne Butler never fails to delight the reader as she proves that Audubon Plantation Country Cookbook is much more than a cookbook.
