This winning book, photographed and designed by Wohl herself, pays enthusiastic homage to her beloved city. She tirelessly shakes down New Orleans' culinary kings and queens (John Besh, Susan Spicer, Leah Chase...), combs through some of the grandest kitchens (Antoine's, Commander's Palace, Arnaud's, Galatoire's...), and even travels outside the city limits for John Folse's and Marcelle Bienvenu's bayou specialties to come up with 37 pots of amazing gumbos, bisques, and soups.

"Filled with dozens of sumptuous and straightforward soup, gumbo, and bisque recipes from the city's finest chefs, caterers, and restaurants, this collection was created with the home cook in mind."

—Pelican Publishing

"This is the fourth of her "New Orleans Classic" series. And I suspect it may be the best yet.
