Behind the Scenes

The making of this book was a labor of love for our entire creative team. Each book in the World Foods series strives for authenticity in every sense of the word. This meant, first of all, finding the best chefs and gathering the best recipes in all of New Orleans. It meant getting expert New Orleans-based writers who know the city's cuisine inside and out. It meant gathering the most beautiful objects on which to serve the food. And it meant shooting each dish on location in the city's best restaurants, among curious diners and bustling waiters, or carting gallons of boiled seafood to create the ultimate picnic on the rolling lawns of a Louisiana plantation. We've emerged from this creative whirlwind with a thorough appreciation for the food, music, and history of this charming city, and we hope you will savor this experience yourself in the pages that follow.
