Providing an array of sumptuous recipes from the historical cuisine of the Mississippi riverboats, a cookbook that travels the great river offers original American dishes, such as Savory Corn Fritters, Jambalaya Pasta, Peanut Butter Cake, and Apple Orchard Cole Slaw. Rodgers' culinary province is Louisville to Pittsburgh, Minneapolis to New Orleans, adapting both traditional and new fare to lower-fat demands. Included among his more than 60 recipes are toasted ravioli with tomato gravy, lean turkey gumbo, jambalaya pasta, apple orchard coleslaw, and blackberry caramel pudding. Tips and boxed asides enliven an already informative text. Barbara Jacobs Used Book in Good Condition
