“Makes you want to spend a week—immediately—in New Orleans.” —Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg, Wall Street Journal A cocktail is more than a segue to dinner when it’s a Sazerac, an anise-laced drink of rye whiskey and bitters indigenous to New Orleans. For Wisconsin native Sara Roahen, a Sazerac is also a fine accompaniment to raw oysters, a looking glass into the cocktail culture of her own family—and one more way to gain a foothold in her beloved adopted city. Roahen’s stories of personal discovery introduce readers to New Orleans’ well-known signatures—gumbo, po-boys, red beans and rice—and its lesser-known gems: the pho of its Vietnamese immigrants, the braciolone of its Sicilians, and the ya-ka-mein of its street culture. By eating and cooking her way through a place as unique and unexpected as its infamous turducken, Roahen finds a home. And then Katrina. With humor, poignancy, and hope, she conjures up a city that reveled in its food traditions before the storm—and in many ways has been saved by them since.

The distinct cultural charm of southern Louisiana has challenged but eluded many authors who have attempted to describe it. This anthology of readings reflects on the traditions, folklore, and folklife in the region and comes perhaps closest of any book yet published in capturing this elusive spirit. A strange, piquant, and savory mixture, the culture has been likened to gumbo, one of southern Louisiana's signature dishes. The delectable, one-of-a-kind identity has been expressed in numerous descriptive phrases -- "south of the South," "the northern tip of the Caribbean," "this folklore land." Crystalizing the region's rich diversity and character, the authors in this collection give a precise introduction to aspects that other books have missed. Here, a land and a people that are unlike any other are portrayed accurately and uniquely. Book jacket.
