Uglesich's Restaurant Cookbook

by John Uglesich

Uglesich's Seafood Restaurant was a New Orleans institution founded in 1924. This anticipated compilation offers the family's personal home dishes as well as newly developed recipes from the business such as Hakon and Watcha Doin' Shrimp, along with explanations of how they were named or developed. Chapters include photographs of the last day that the restaurant was open and messages to the family after their home and business were damaged by Hurricane Katrina. These words of encouragement from friends and strangers across the country pay tribute to the family business and make this book a history and a legacy.

My daughter surprised me with an autographed copy of this book. She snuck and got John Uglesich to sign it during our last visit to this fabulous New Orleans restaurant. The book actually is a little clunky - and I'd rather eat in the restaurant than cook the food myself. If the truth be known, it's probably best you never see the ingredients so you can simply be clueless in your calorie consumption. However, I get requests to remake the incredible Shrimp and Grits in Cream Sauce.

Too bad they have been closed since Katie decided to rehab our beautiful city. Never did get a chance to eat there.
