About the Author

Myrtle Simms helped her father start Lafayette, Louisianaís famed Donís Seafood and Steakhouse Restaurant in 1932. Born one of eleven siblings, Mrs. Simms joined the rest of the family in preparing the plate lunches and dishes that ensured the restaurant's popularity. Around 1965, Mrs. Simms scaled back her active participation with the restaurant. She was involved in various festivals and was active in promoting her familyís continuing dedication to the food industry and Cajun culture. In Mrs. Simmsí Fun Cooking Guide (sp), Mrs. Simms takes a laid-back approach to cooking and entertainment. She gives timesaving techniques so cooks can be involved with their guests and not be tied up in the kitchen. The Creole and Cajun dishes she delivers are classics and would be a valuable addition to any kitchen repertoire. The book has also been translated into French and is available under the title La Joie de Cuisiner de Mme Simms (sp).
