Reilly is never short of opinions about food or far away from his next bite. Whether issuing gibes such as \"canned food is a perversion,\" or taking a break from his literary ambitions with \"an occasional cheese dip,\" this lover of Lucky Dogs, caf\u0026amp;eacute au lait, and wine cakes navigates 1960s New Orleans focused on gastronomical pursuits.\u003cbr\u003eFor the novel's millions of fans, Cynthia LeJeune Nobles's \"A Confederacy of Dunces\" Cookbook offers recipes inspired by the delightfully commonplace and always delicious fare of Ignatius and his cohorts. Through an informative narrative and almost 200 recipes, Nobles explores the intersection of food, history, and culture found in the Pulitzer Prize--winning novel, opening up a new avenue into New Orleans's rich culinary traditions.\u003cbr\u003eDishes inspired by Ignatius's favorites -- macaroons and \"toothsome\" steak -- as well as recipes based on supporting characters -- Officer Mancuso's Pork and Beans and Dr. Talc's Bloody Marys -- complement a wealth of fascinating detail about the epicurean side of the novel's memorable settings. A guide to the D. H. Holmes Department Store's legendary Chicken Salad, the likely offerings of the fictitious German's Bakery, and an in-depth interview with the general manager of Lucky Dogs round out this delightful cookbook.\u003cbr\u003eA lighthearted yet impeccably researched look at the food of the 1960s, \"A Confederacy of Dunces\" Cookbook reaffirms the singularity and timelessness of both New Orleans cuisine and Toole's comic tour de force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cynthia Lejeune Nobles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807161918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807161913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 8.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Cynthia Lejeune Nobles","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44043556880639,"sku":"9780807161913","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fccc0cf5-950a-49d1-8939-24a932cd5d01.jpg?v=1684967843","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-confederacy-of-dunces-cookbook-cynthia-lejeune-nobles-9780807161913","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
