Taste of Tremé: Creole, Cajun, and Soul Food from New Orleans' Famous Neighborhood of Jazz Reviews
-
Todd-Michael St. Pierre pays homeage to the food and culture of Faubourg Tremé in his newest cookbook, Taste of Treme. The book is filled with delicious dishes along with information about the history and culture of the neighborhood. Fans of New Orleans food and of HBO's series Treme should add this to their libraries.

Taste of Treme is so much more than just a cookbook, it's a recipe for life in the Treme. The book references the food of the Treme neighborhood, the culture and history of the area as well as the heavily lauded HBO show, Treme.
Through short asides, we meet people like Mr. Okra (our local grocer-by-truck), visit restaurants like Dooky Chase and are introduced to everything from seafood safety and local colloquialisms to Voodoo and Mardi Gras krewes.
For a local, the cookbook is like a journal complete with stories about MawMaw and for anyone else, it serves as a primer to New Orleans culture. All of that said - it's also a heck of a cookbook! Recipes include gumbos, Muffulettas, cocktails and even the Batiste family recipe for Bread Puddin' with Praline Rum Sauce. Now, that's good eatin'. -
Absolutely wonderful! The recipes are delightful and the facts and stories about New Orleans are equally entertaining. Get started cooking and reading now! And, look forward to additional books by Todd-Michael St. Pierre soon.
-
Tasty recipes and delightful stories. The only negative is the useless index. Example: look under W for Where Y’at Shredded Pork Gumbo with Black-Eyed Peas. There’s nothing under G for gumbo or B for black-eyed peas.

I love all of the recipes in this cookbook - the author adds little tidbits of info along with the recipes so that after you've "read" the book you may feel like you have just visited New Orleans! Recipes are easy to prepare for the average home cook and your family and friends will rave over the results. I highly recommend any of Todd-Michael St. Pierre's cookbooks - they are very affordable and make great gifts for those who love the cuisine of New Orleans!
-
I don't know what I expected when I entered to receive this book, but it certainly was not the gem that it is! This is not just another cook book! This book comes alive with history and stories and wonderful recipes. It makes me want to get on the next plane to New Orleans.
-
I like the food in this book and I will be using the recipes for sure. Excellent food choices.
-
My favorite food book of 2013. The wonderful recipes are the least part of this wonderful description of New Orleans and its spectacular celebration of food.
