Our Family Cookbook / Notre Livre de Recettes

Here's a new cookbook hot off the press that brings together Acadian and Acadiana recipes. This family cookbook contains recipes from the Guedry-Labine Family and was published to coincide with the 2004 Congrès Mondial held in Nova Scotia.

If your surname is: Guidry, Guedry, Geddry, Gedry, Gidry, Guitry, Guildry, Gaidry, Jeddry, Jedry, LaBine, Labine or LaBean you're most likely a descendant, and, would surely want to add this one to your treasured library! 

The cookbook contains recipes from Nova Scotia, Louisiana and throughout the U.S.... all from Guedry-Labine descendants. You'll find old time favorites as well as new fangled dishes all compiled and published by Jack Guidry.
