Uglesich's Restaurant Cookbook

When Tim Zagat arrives in New Orleans, he instructs the taxi driver to head straight to Uglesich's (pronounced "yoo-gul-sich"). Though this small, neighbourhood restaurant has never advertised, there is always a waiting line outside the door. This highly anticipated cookbook, written by Anthony Uglesich's son, John, compiles recipes from Sam Uglesich's first dishes, when the restaurant was a sandwich shop on Rampart Street, to new creations by Gail and Anthony, the current generation. With an emphasis on fresh ingredients, this cookbook is a superb primer on Creole cooking that includes and also goes well beyond traditional preparations. With this publication, the secrets of two Uglesich generations are released to the home cook.
