Nestled near New Orleans, among marshy bogs crawlin' with gators and accessible only by boat, lies Honey Island Swamp where there is always something boiling in a big pot, or frying on the outdoor burner, or smoking on the pit to feed the gathering of friends and family who stop by for a good time and a bite to eat. With a heap of photos and plenty of storytellin', Swamp Cookin' With The River People will introduce you to these friendly folks, but their scrumptious spin on untamed, downhome Southern eats is what'll really reel you in!Read about the Reunion of Gator and LouAnn, the alligator rodeo and Elks Lodge double wedding, among a few more humorous, but possibly true tales. Once you've worked up an appetite, dig in to over 100 lip-smackin' recipes that author Dana Holyfield has gathered from her fellow swamp natives. From Mudbug Jambalaya to Charlie's Tree Rat Stew, or some Smothered Frog Legs with a side of Coonass Coleslaw, you'll find side dishes to tame even the wildest appetites. And whatever you do, save room for Wanda's Whiskey Cake!NOTE: This is the original Swamp Cookin' With The River People" cookbook, revised with a different cover. This cookbook first came out in 1998 before all the TV shows about swamp living.
