THE JUSTIN WILSON COOKBOOK
Who is Justin Wilson? That's a pretty silly question for anyone in
Louisiana to ask. Perhaps no public figure is better known or loved during
recent times in the Pelican State than Justin Wilson. Curiously enough,
Wilson got his start as an industry safety engineer, a highly valued and
respected one too, instructing oil refinery workers, dockworkers, and law
enforcement officers all over the South.
It was this line of work that inspired the Cajun storyteller in Wilson,
judging from what Wilson himself has to say: "Way back when I first started
as a safety engineer, I took myself pretty seriously. And I found I was
putting audiences to sleep. So, having lived all my life among the Cajuns of
Louisiana, and having a memory for the patois and the type of humor Cajuns
go for, I started interspersing my talks on safety with Cajun humor. And you
know what? My audiences stayed awake."
Not only did they stay awake, they chuckled, laughed and roared-and learned
their safety lessons. For nearly two decades, Wilson was in heavy demand as
master of ceremonies for everything from a supermarket opening to a Miss
Texas contest. He recorded an album, The Humorous World of Justin Wilson,
which broke all album sales records in Texas' recording history. After that
he made four more(all successful), appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, MC'd
conventions, parties, political rallies, christenings, and you name it.
Although he'd accomplished all that, Justin Wilson still wasn't satisfied-he
decided to expand his range of expertise to include the culinary arts, and
has enjoyed lots of success in that arena, beginning it all with The Justin
Wilson Cookbook.
Readers will be glad to know that The Justin Wilson Cookbook reflects the
Justin Wilson personality-entertaining and authentic. And the meals you cook
from this book will go down in your gastronomical memory as the most
exciting and interesting ever
