The first cookbook featuring classic Cajun recipes—from Red Beans and Rice to Catfish Courtbouillon—from the comedian and PBS cooking series host.
Justin Wilson took a culture slur and made it a label of distinction. He proudly identified himself, and his cooking, as “Cajun.” His experiences as a safety engineer were the catalyst of his transformation into one of the most familiar Cajun personalities of the last century.
“I started interspersing my safety talks with Cajun humor. And what do you know? My audiences stayed awake!”
They did a lot more than stay awake. They chuckled, they laughed, they roared—and they learned their safety lessons! For decades, Wilson was in heavy demand on television and in person. He recorded four albums, one of which—The Humorous World of Justin Wilson—broke all album sales records in Texas at the time.
His first cookbook, published in 1965, still stands as a masterpiece of Cajun cooking and of culinary expertise in general. Unique, entertaining, and authentic, his original Cajun recipes include everything from the perfect roux to Eggplant Appetizer a la Justin, Red Bean Soup, Okra Gumbo, Venison Roast, and Dirty Rice. Wilson’s collection of Cajun recipes (and humor) will set your imagination on the right track, “I garontee.”

Regular price $10.95 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 248): Computation results in '-Infinity'%A classic Louisiana cookbook originally designed for the homemaker from a cooking competition winner and member of a famous family of restaurateurs.
Cooking in several languages comes naturally to Myrtle Landry Simms, a descendant of French immigrants and Acadian refugees from Nova Scotia. In 1932, she helped her father establish Don’s Seafood Inn, a forerunner to the famous Don’s Seafood and national Landry’s restaurant chains. An award-winning cook herself, Mrs. Simms created one of the restaurant’s signature dishes, the stuffed flounder, as well as many other tasty delights. Landry’s secrets of preparing Cajun and Creole cuisine, as well as traditional favorites like glazed pork chops, stuffed squash, and chicken fricassee are revealed, along with Landry’s Papa’s $1 Million Barbecue Sauce, which she says was “the start of a restaurant chain.”
Mrs. Simms’ Fun Cooking Guide is written for the economical cook and the relaxed hostess. Many of these tempting recipes can be prepared ahead of time and chilled until time to pop them in the oven or carry them to the dining table. Whether you are cooking for two or a crowd, Myrtle Landry Simms makes cooking New Orleans Creole and Louisiana Cajun country dishes—as well as traditional menus—easy, fun, and best of all, delicious!
