"Middle-class upbringing in New Orleans would have seen classical French food as standard, but there's also a section towards the back of the book, quite distinct from the chapter on American food, devoted to the Creole cookery of New Orleans itself. I'll leave you with Countess Morphy's recipe for Creole breakfast fritters and its sadly nostalgic introduction - there's something of a sense of homesickness in this recipe. These fritters, made from rice and raised with yeast are quite unlike anything I've come across before, but they sound delicious".   See http://www.gastronomydomine.com/labels/reviews.html
