Cookin on the Mississippi

Bobby Potts takes on another culinary adventure with this cookbook filled with recipes from Louisiana and Mississippi plantations and paddle wheelers. The enormous force of the river dominated the lives of plantation families, controlling transportation, location and architectural design of homes, the success of crops and marketing of produce -- indeed, their lifestyle. This richness of the soil produced an opulence that was unique. But carried with it much hard work by men and women alike during the antebellum period. This cookbook will introduce you to this wondrous collection of plantations - to this incredible, incredible river that has supported such varied and exciting cultures for more than two hundred years. Soft cover 64 pages.
