| |  | | Today Is Monday in Louisiana
Winner of a NAPPA Book Award (National Parenting Publications Award), Today is Monday in Louisiana rhythmically takes readers through a culinary calendar, describing a Louisiana meal a day.
Based on a popular song adapted by the multi-award winning New Orleans singer-songwriter Johnette Downing. Each day of the week is a delicious one in Louisiana, a state known as much for its love of food as for its love of cultural heritage, family and tradition. On Monday there are red beans to eat, on Tuesday there are po'boys and on Wednesday there is gumbo. A glossay describes the meals, their cultural origins and how the food is presented. A recipe for red beans and rice is included too, so you can begin your week the Louisiana way! |
