A fabulous cookbook worth all fans of NOLA recipes checking out. The recipes are simple to follow, capture the fabulous city's unique flavors, and are written in a fun, conversational style. And the photos are mouthwatering!

I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book is designed for home cooking, and recipes are easy to follow, though some do involve a lot of steps (all with timings and clear explanations).

We had a week of Besh cooking and ate exceedingly well. There was not a bad recipe to be had, and most of the recipes I tried will be cooked again - repeatedly. I did use less spice than in the recipe due to my husband being unable to eat spicy foods. But you can add spice to your portion if you want to!

All in all, a great recipe book from the deep south.

Fun and sometimes funny, with uncomplicated but truly local recipes. The ingredients aren't scary, though many are fairly regional.

Definitely a fan of the NOLA recipes that John Besh has provided in Besh Big Easy. I'm not familiar enough with the differences between Besh and other famed NOLA chefs, but I appreciated the recipes collected here, the layout of the cookbook and simple to follow recipes (some ingredients aren't always available where I live).

Besh Big Easy (101 Hone Cooked New Orleans Recipes) by John Besh.

Great cookbook on New Orleans cooking. I love the beautiful pictures and they looked great on my Kindle Fire. The format of the recipes makes it easy to read and follow. This would be a great addition to anyone’s cookbook collection.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
