Good eating with no love handles

For those who love the aroma, taste, and challenge of cajun cuisine but want to eliminate its correlation with the human waistline, this book will be a welcome addition to the culinary library. It is packed full of hints for preparation and of course many excellent recipes. It is quite common in low-cal cookbooks that the flavor and texture get sacrificed in the quest to maintain the hourglass shape, and to some extent this is true here. But the author/chef has done a good job of preserving the bare essentials of the Cajun cooking experience. Recipe recommendations: 1. Seafood gumbo. 2. Shrimp Salad 3. Crabmeat Casserole 4. Shrimp and Crabmet Jambalaya 5. Shrimp Creole 6. Blackened Catfish 7. Cajun Catfish 8. Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya. 9. Blackened Chicken Breast 10. Cajun-Style Chili 11. Blackened Pork Chop 12. Blackened Lamb Chop 13. Sweet Potatoes with Orange 14. Dirty Rice 15. Cajun Couche-Couche 16. Jalapeno Cornbread
one of the best!

I first bought this book about 4 years ago. I used the recipes for dinner parties, and my guests loved the food (of course I did, too)! I loaned the book out several times, didn't get it back the last time, and now I am ordering it again. The recipes are authentic Cajun, easy, and delicious. Shrimp etouffe and shrimp Creole are our favorites.
One of the Best Cookbooks on the Market!

Enola Prudhomme's Low Fat Cajun Cooking is not only filled with fantastic recipes. It includes nutritional information on every meal, basic cooking tips for low fat cooking, and cooking techniques for all cooks. This is a fantastic recipe book as well as a necessary reference in my home!

A clinical dietician recommended this book to me and I love it. She let me borrow it and now I am ordering it as a result. Great recipes. Really like Enola Prudhomme's introduction and how the book came to be.
Cajun cooking for the rest of us

Low Calorie Cajun Cooking started in Enola Prudhomme's restaurant. She had been making lower-calorie recipies there for family, but the menu contained none of them. When some patrons inquired, she tried putting one or two of them on the menu and met with great success. Today, half of the menu features these "heart smart" recipies. The crawfish etouffee is marvelous!
