Review "Another palatable journey is John Besh's "Cooking From the Heart: My Favorite Lessons Learned Along the Way," which includes exquisite photography (360 West Magazine) "a lavish and handsome picture book that's more or less a biography of where Besh, the charismatic former Marine, trained and traveled before establishing his several restaurants in New Orleans, particularly the German Black Forest and Provence." (Corby Kummer, The Atlantic) "By turning to Cooking From the Heart the adventurous among us will be encouraged to cook like a pro-and learn a few things along the way too!" (Diane Hodges, Cookbook Digest) "There's a gorgeous rusticity and lustiness to recipes ... that speak to his Cajun sensibilities."
