“One of my favorite, honest, downhome Creole restaurants in the French Quarter is The Gumbo Shop, and finally we have a collection of their scrumptious recipes, from alligator sauce piquant and macque choux to six different gumbos that show just how varied and scrumptious the cooking of Southern Louisiana can be. You’ll bask in this cookbook, and the pages of photographs seem to have an aroma about them that makes you want to rip them out while you cook.” - Mariani’s Virtual Gourmet Newsletter

“An excellent and practical new cookbook just published by the Gumbo Shop’s president and executive chef, Richard Stewart, gives the recipe for cafe brulot prepared tableside. The book explains that Reveillon is a traditional Creole yuletide feast, reinterpreted by some New Orleans restaurants.” - Chicago Sun-Times

“The newest book on the block: Gumbo Shop ($15.95). If you’ve traveled to New Orleans, you may have heard of the Gumbo Shop, a Creole restaurant in the French Quarter that has been part of the New Orleans scene since 1948. Richard Stewart, the chef/owner of the Gumbo Shop, has published his own sleek, glossy cookbook with traditional and contemporary recipes from the restaurant.” - Denver Rocky Mountain News
