From the jacket flap
The remarkable crustacean known in the South as the crawfish is tied to the culinary identity of Louisiana. Where Mudbug Madness is an annual event and crawfish boils are as common as barbecues, these creatures have grown into a statewide obsession. Louisianians can't get enough. To satisfy that hunger, Jerald and Glenda Horst have compiled more than eighty recipes, among them Crawfish Cream Cheese Casserole, Crawfish Frittata, Crawfish au Gratin, and Crawfish Cheesecake. Excellence is notated by four stars, and each dish has been kitchen-tested by the authors.
Essays and anecdotes reveal an almost encyclopedic array of information on crawfish, including how to identify the best crawfish for your home boil, food safety and storage, and-for the novices-even how to peel a crawfish. Personal stories of the individuals who play a role along the journey from swamp to tabletop provide insights into the culture of Louisiana as well as the crawfish industry. Whether called crawfish or crayfish, preferred boiled or fried, these crustaceans and their fascinating story will gratify any appetite.
