For decades, Brigtsen devotees have been begging Chef Frank to write a cookbook. He finally did it! Chock full of great recipes, stunning photography and “Frankisms,” it'll be the first thing you throw into your trunk during an evacuation — right next to your mama's recipes.

Featuring Frank's personal recipes for classic Creole dishes, such as Filé Gumbo and Shrimp Remoulade, as well as Brigtsen's Restaurant favorites, like Butternut Shrimp Bisque, Roast Duck, and Pecan Pie.

Includes recollections of Frank's personal story, as a 4th generation New Orleanian, protégé of Paul Prudhomme, Chef/Owner of Brigtsen's and later teacher of all things Creole food and history.

Chloe ★★★★★

I'd been waiting years for this book and it didn't disappoint—the "Frankisms" sprinkled throughout make it feel like he's right there in the kitchen with you. The recipes are genuinely approachable, and I've already cooked three dishes that turned out better than anything from my usual rotation.

George ★★★★★

The photography alone is worth the price—every page makes you want to cook immediately. I've already dog-eared half the recipes, and the "Frankisms" sprinkled throughout are a delight. This one's going to be a permanent fixture on my kitchen counter.

Daniel J. ★★★★★

Finally a cookbook that reads like you're sitting in the chef's kitchen—the "Frankisms" sprinkled between recipes make it feel personal. Already flagged the gumbo as my first attempt this weekend.
