New Title: Dooky Chase Cookbook (Pelican)

Dooky Chase's Restaurant, a celebrated bastion of fine Creole food and a New Orleans landmark, has welcomed notable individuals as well as thousands of locals through its doors since opening in 1941. Leah Chase, the unquestionable authority in the restaurant's kitchen for many of those years, offers here a collection of recipes from the menu and her personal files that have delighted patrons for decades. This cookbook pairs the flavors of Leah Chase's dishes with anecdotes recounting the restaurant's traditions, origins of the recipes, and memories, and is spiced with exquisite works from the African American art collection that hangs in the restaurant's dining room. This revised and expanded edition presents even more of the restaurant's favorite offerings and features a new chapter on drinks. Leah Chase, Dooky Chase's longtime chef and proprietor, passed away in 2019, but these pages honor her legacy through recipes and sentiments that will be forever intertwined with the history of New Orleans.
