\ Library JournalThe life span of most restaurants is shorter than that of the average household pet, so when an eatery can claim to have remained open for 87 years, it is an accomplishment indeed. Arnaud's Restaurant of New Orleans opened its doors in 1918, and this book-a tidy marriage of Creole recipes and New Orleans history written by a close associate of the current owners-serves as a tribute to the institution's culinary staying power. Arnaud's has known only two family proprietors since its inception; some of the items on the menu, e.g., Shrimp Arnaud, date back to the original list of fare and can still be ordered today.

Recipe ingredients should be easy enough for most people to purchase. Beautifully illustrated and well organized, this is recommended for public libraries with extensive cookbook collections.-Sean Michael Fleming, Lebanon P.L., NH Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.\ \
