Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Would I recommend buying this book - absolutely YES - especially for anyone who has ever had lunch or dinner at this fantastic landmark. Through the stories, you will hopefully relive your experiences at this wonderful institution. If you haven't been there, it will make it a spot that you won't want to miss.
Would I recommend buying this as a cookbook - sadly - No .
Galatoire's in New Orleans is a feeling - an experience - something that you must indulge in. The writer of this book has definitely had this experience and it shows through the wonderful stories as well as pictures included in the volume. But as a cook book, there is something very wrong. I am far from being a professional chef but also by no means a novice in the kitchen. I looked forward to all the exciting dishes described and had a difficult time trying to pick the first one to try. It was a great disappointment. I have since prepared at least 4 or 5 other dishes - all with the same frustrating outcome. Where it called for certain ingredients not found locally, I ordered them. I followed the recipes without making any changes what so ever and was flat out disappointed with each one. Was there a problem taking restaurant quantities and formulating them down for the home setting - I don't know. There seems to be something wrong though. As a cookbook, it was very very disappointing.
