Guide Review
Joe Brown's Melange Cafe Cookbook
It wasn't long after Joe Brown opened the Melange Cafe that he developed a loyal following for his Italian/Louisiana fusion cuisine, myself included. So it's no surprise that he decided to publish a cookbook that showcases the wonderful dishes served nightly at his restaurant. What is surprising is the relative simplicity of these recipes that manage to deliver lots of complex flavors. With some cookbooks you're lucky to find a handful of recipes you'll want to cook. With this one you'll have a hard time finding a handful that you won't.
