C'est Si Bon Smothered Fish Bake

One of my very favorite cookbooks is a private printing done by some really neat ladies from Baton Rouge. One of them who had approved of my D.BTaGBs presented me with a signed copy. The book was C'est Si Bon, the best of Baton Rouge. The ladys were GREAT cooks. This is one of theirs. Do have it with some rice and greens. Show more
