Cooking with the Uglesiches

Family recipes from a business that is as much about the customers as the food.

Uglesich's Seafood Restaurant was a New Orleans institution founded in 1924. This anticipated compilation offers the family's personal home dishes as well as newly developed recipes from the business such as Hakon and Watcha Doin' Shrimp, along with explanations of how they were named or developed. Chapters include photographs of the last day that the restaurant was open and messages to the family after their home and business were damaged by Hurricane Katrina. These words of encouragement from friends and strangers across the country pay tribute to the family business and make this book a history and a legacy.
