Its Tradition and Transition

This 432 page book is filled with dozens of traditional bayou recipes handed down from generation to generation. From the foreward: "David Cohn describes the Delta region not as a geographical section, but as a 'way of life'. If this be true, then this book is an attempt to share a good life! In evoking the mystique of the Delta, we're indebted to the great body of tradition which over the years has cast its mold upon the thoughts and impressions of its people." Sections of the book divide the recipes into the following categories: Indian; Spain; France; England; Mississippi Territory; Ante Bellum; War Between the States; Post-Bellum; Delta Chefs; Art; International Origin; and Space Age.
