About this title

From the Back Cover:

Justin Wilson made his mark as a storyteller and humorist—a goodwill ambassador of the Cajun culture of South Louisiana. He took a culture slur and made it a label of distinction, proudly identifying himself, and his cooking, as “Cajun.”

Wilson’s twenty-seven comedy albums charmed audiences everywhere, at one point even outselling Elvis Presley. In an extraordinary career spanning more than forty years, he starred in three acclaimed cooking series airing on more than three hundred PBS television stations nationwide. He passed away on September 6, 2001, but the shows he made during his lifetime continue to air on PBS affiliates.

For this final retrospective, Wilson reminisced about times gone by, the recipes he created, and the evolution of his cooking style. He sprinkled in a few healthy and convenient updates, some Louisiana and Cajun history, and his famously funny anecdotes. Complementing these spicy tidbits are photographs that capture the essence of this Cajun cook and humorist. The result is Justin Wilson Looking Back: A Cajun Cookbook, sure to help you “pass a good time.” I GARONTEE!
