The Petticoat Rebellion: A Culinary History of French Colonial Louisiana

The Petticoat Rebellion chronicles the creation of New Orleans' Creole Cuisine with recipes, historical essays and historical fiction. Creole cuisine is the integration of European (in this case French) and African cooking methods and ingredients with the methods and ingredients found in the New World. All of the ingredients found in the recipes throughout the book have been historically verified to have existed in the French Caribbean and Louisiana during the 18th century. The cooking methods found herein (except where specified) can be done at an open hearth as well as using modern ranges and ovens.
