Much more than paella, flan, and empanadillas (meat pies), Isle 1/2o cuisine reflects the diverse heritage of Louisiana. The ingredients combine to produce a healthy menu of more than 800 dishes that range from Irish Stew and a Chow Mein Hot Dish to Chicken Cacciatore and a New England Boiled Dinner.

Other dishes are pure Louisiana-nine different recipes for gumbo, and two for fried alligator, for example. And no one could forget the sweets. One entire chapter is devoted to Cakes, Cookies & Candies, with another reserved for Desserts & Pies. While others may eat to live, los Isle 1/2os live to eat
