About this title

About the Author:

Margo Hayes & Mary Ann Monsour are both graduates of Louisiana State University and are residents of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The two teach cooking & entertaining classes & are the owners of The Culinary Shoppe, a unique business which offers the usual in kitchen necessities as well as unusual and extraordinary finds (including antiques & collectibles) related to all aspects of dining.

The authors approach cooking from two different backgrounds which truly complement each other. Mary Ann has been married for 30 years and has four sons ranging in age from 22 to 27 years of age. She obviously approaches cooking & dining from a family point of view. Margo's view is from a more institutional background. Her work in catering spans some fifteen years. She owns a catering company (Margo Bouanchaud, Inc.) and is known regionally for her lavish food & tabletop presentations. Both of these ladies love to entertain and do so with beauty & ease.

This duo, with their knowledge and expertise, not to mention their vivacious personalities, makes for an unbeatable combination.

Review:

"Where else but south Louisiana would you find such an amazing number of exceptional cooks who put down their kitchen utensils long enough to take up pens (or computer keyboards) and write good, interesting cookbooks.

Case in point -- "Culinary Secrets: Treasures from Margo & Mary Ann's Louisiana Kitchen" by Margo Bouanchaud Hayes & Mary Ann Monsour. . . . sure to be welcomed by anyone looking for practical recipes that will wow guests. . . . easy to read recipes. The pair also included lots of practical tips." -- Cheramie Sonnier, The Advocate, Baton Rouge, LA, 12/10/98
