The Encyclopedia of Cajun & Creole Cuisine 43 reviews
John D. Folse
Chef John Folse & Company Publishing, 2004
Absolutely Outstanding- wonderfully illustrated too!
This is the most impressive book yet on cajun/ creole cooking. Outstanding in every way (except perhaps the cornbread, all of which had sugar in it, and grandma would whop him over the head with her iron skillet for THAT). Can't wait to cook from this.
The recipes, history, festivals, photos, and everything else make this HUGE book indeed an encyclopedia. Impressive that the Italian and German ...

Creole Houses: Traditional Homes of Old Louisiana4 reviews
Steve Gross, Sue Daley
Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 2007
Another great book from Steve Gross & Susan Daley
This book brings important attention to the existence of these historic Creole homes in a part of the country that has been shattered by natural events in recent years. Fortunately, these homes are survivors: of their glorious past, of the ravages of weather, economy and time. The photographic vision of Gross and Daley is a brilliant dedication to documenting places as they are and not how we ...

Central Africans, Atlantic Creoles, and the Foundation of the Americas, 1585-1660
Linda M. Heywood, John K. Thornton
Cambridge University Press, 2007
This book shows that the first generation of Africans taken to English and Dutch colonies before 1660 were captured by pirates from these countries from slave ships coming from Kongo and Angola. This region had embraced Christianity and elements of Western culture, such as names and some material culture, the result of a long period of diplomatic, political, and military interaction with the Portuguese. This background gave them an important ...

Caribbean cooking at its best
My wife and I love this book. Every recipe we have tried is fantastic. Every recipe has a picture that shows the final dish. The quality and binding of the book is the best I have seen.

Fantastic book. I had the book for a while then I found the CD that goes with it. I would highly recommend the CD with book purchase. It all makes sense when you see it written AND hear it pronounced.

Creole Made Easy Workbook4 reviews

A great resource
I bought this set when I moved to Haiti-- I also got the "Creole Made Easy" book (different from the workbook) and the set of 2 CDs. They helped enormously in my learning to express myself in Creole. The CDs also helped my comprehension get off the ground, but it was really necessary to learn comprehension from Creole speakers since Creole has so many contractions, so much slang, and Haitians ...

Great accompaniment to the book
Great cd's. The speaker is clear, the quality is good. The phrases are repeated to give you time to practice. A lot is covered in the 16 lessons, if you master them you will be able to converse on a simple level. Vocabulary is included in each lesson so you learn the vocab as you go along. If you get the book as well, you won't have spent much and you will be much further along in your quest to ...

Creole-English/English Creole (Caribbean): Hippocrene Concise Dictionary
The dictionary had many Creole-English entries, but did not have a list of phrases. I didn't know how to put the words together, as a result the dictionary didn't help me much.

The Creoles of Louisiana2 reviews
George W. Cable
Pelican Publishing Company, 2000
CREOLES
This is a fantastic book on Creoles, it is well researched and very enlightening. The word Creole means the original European natives of New Orleans, NOT light skinned African Americans, now I'm sure many light skinned blacks from New Orleans has Creole ancestry. The word has been eroneously used, when I tell people that my grandmother was of Creole and Austrian ancestry, they are like, wow, I ...

Old Creole Days: A Story Of Creole Life 3 reviews
George W. Cable
Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2007
dialect as thick as gumbo
This book is worth reading as an example of the local color school of literature of the late 19th century. It consists of a novelette, Madame Delphine, and some short stories and sketches. The problem is that the dialogue is written in dialect as thick as gumbo. Outsiders can hardly understand it unless they speak it aloud.

Great Little Book
I bought the whole serious for my 10 month old daughter after her doctor gave her, "Where's the puppy"? at one of her well baby check-ups. She absolutely loved the book! We took it with us to Church every Sunday and it kept her occupied. My daughter is now 15 months old and she still loves this book and all of the others in this series. These are by far her favorite books and she has a lot of ...

Creative and charming!
This book is a really fun read: I buy design books constantly, and confess that I usually completely disregard the text. This book was the exception: I found it extremely entertaining, and actually read the entire thing, cover to cover. One of the main criticisms I've seen leveled at it is that most people don't consider the ideas thrifty. As an interior designer with a busy Chicago firm, I ...

Hippocrene Concise Dictionary: Haitian Creole-English English-Haitian Creole (Hippocrene Concise Dictionary)2 reviews
Theodore Charmant
Hippocrene Books, 1995
A Good Buy !
This is one of the better dicitionaries out there on Haitian Creole. It alone will not make you fluent in the language, but it is a must-have for beginner/intermediate students of the language. The only flaw is some of the words have the beginning letter missing due to not enough space on the page. An excellent purchase.

An adorable board book for toddlers
This very cute board book has flaps which reveal, for example, a baby in the previously empty bathtub. It is all about an ordinary day, which my kids love: bath, bed, sandbox. One child has Down syndrome. Plus an adorable boy on the cover.

Fantastic Medical Dictionary
I would highly recommend this English/Haitian Creole Dictionary. It has many illustrations and is divided into body systems. In addition, it has an alaphabetical word listing. There are also plenty of complete sentences translated to help with patient questioning and examination. A Haitian friend of mine said the dictionary was written the way Creole is spoken in rural areas, where I often ...

Doesn't get any better than this
I picked this book up years ago and of the some 50 cookbooks I own, this is the one I keep coming back to. If you've ever been to the Big Easy and indulged in New Orleans cuisine, you will find this book scrumptious. The recipes are typical Creole and Cajun French and simple. Corrinne's biscuits are a delight! You'll feast in culinary delights if you master these recipes of the Master Chefs of ...
