Roger’s Lite Cajun Cookbook

By Vernon Roger.  5th printing.  Roger Productions, Ltd., Baton Rouge, LA. 1996.  Illustrated with marvelously detailed b/w drawings of Cajun life by Floyd Sonnier.

The book begins by defining a Cajun, then tells you how to cook rice and make a roux.  THEN are all the wonderful recipes for the produce of sea, bayou, and garden.

     Roger discovered that traditional Cajun dishes can easily be altered to make them healthier by reducing fat and cholesterol.  He has substituted turkey and crawfish for some meats and used egg whites instead of whole eggs.
