Produktbeschreibung
La cuisine creole: A collection of culinary recipes from leading chefs and noted Creole housewives, who have made New Orleans famous for its cuisine is a collection of recipes that preserves the culinary identity of New Orleans through its vibrant blend of traditions. Published in the late 19th century, it reflects the convergence of American, French, Spanish, Italian, West Indian, and Mexican influences that define creole cooking. Designed as both a practical guide and cultural homage, the book presents recipes from respected chefs and experienced housewives, each offering insights into local tastes and refined techniques. The introduction emphasizes the thoughtful discipline required to master this cuisine, where flavor emerges from patience and understanding. Soup making is highlighted early, with examples combining vegetables and meats in balanced proportions, illustrating how simplicity and knowledge elevate everyday ingredients. The structure of the text suggests a teaching method meant to guide cooks toward self-reliance and culinary awareness. Rather than merely listing recipes, it creates an immersive experience that honors the social and historical roots of creole life, inviting readers to join a tradition sustained by flavor, care, and creativity.
Autorenporträt
Lafcadio Hearn was a Greek-Japanese writer, translator, and educator Patrick Lafcadio Hearn, also known as Koizumi Yakumo (27 June 1850 - 26 September 1904) was responsible for introducing Japanese culture and literature to the West. His works, particularly his compilations of tales and ghost stories like Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things, provided previously unheard-of insights into Japanese culture. He was a journalist in the US before relocating to Japan and obtaining Japanese citizenship, especially in Cincinnati and New Orleans. His New Orleans-related writings, which were inspired by his ten-year residence there, are likewise well-known. From there, he was assigned to serve as a reporter in the French West Indies for two years before being transferred to Japan, where he spent the remainder of his life. Hearn wed Setsuko Koizumi in Japan, and the two had four kids together. His publications on Japan gave the West more understanding of a culture that was at the time still foreign to it.
