Bronzing Mix
(Gallons & 5.5 oz. Bottles)
I created "bronzing" to be a lighter more delicate form of blackening. To bronze, use a non-stick skillet, about a tablespoon of margarine, and my bronzing seasoning. Just sprinkle it on what you want to bronze, rub the seasoning in with your hands, wrap tightly in plastic film and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Then put the margarine in the skillet and bronze your steak, pork, chicken breasts, fish, shrimp, mushrooms, eggplants, zucchini, soft-shell crabs and just about anything else you can imaging over medium-high heat until it turns a toasty brown. Unlike "blackening", it can be done inside, doesn't create a lot of smoke, is low in saturated fat, and is all natural. Because my bronzing mix is so versatile, it can be used on your steaks when you barbecue! But use it sparingly - it's concentrated!

No Salt Seasoning
3.5 oz. Bottles
Specially formulated for persons on a sodium restricted diet. Contains absolutely no salt! But full of natural herb and spice flavor. Extensively kitchen-tested in the dietary department of one of New Orleans' most prestigious hospitals. Sprinkle on your foods before or during cooking, or mix with olive or canola oil and use as a marinade or salad dressing.

Granular Seafood Boil -NEW
4 lb. jar & 16 oz. Bottle
My seafood boil is the '98 remanufactured version of the old standard liquid crab boil. The new product is totally complete and perfectly seasoned with all the ingredients necessary to boil shrimp, crabs, crawfish, lobsters, corn, potatoes, sausage and anything else Cajun/Creole. All you need to produce outstanding boiled seafood is this product, your favorite seafood, and a pot full of water.

Grill-N-Broil - NEW
7 oz. Bottle
Grill-N-Broil actually creates the special "gourmet flavor" you've been looking for on everything that goes on the top the grill, in the barbecue pit, or under the broiler, The subtle but well-defined flavor accentuates steaks, pork, ribs, brisket, chops, fish, chicken legs, turkey breasts, burgers and more. Never again will you wonder if the seasoning is anything less than perfect!

"Chicken Fried" Mix - NEW
6 lb. Gallon & 9 oz. Bottle
This is all you will really ever need for chicken-fried steaks, chicken- fried chicken, chicken-fried eggplant and just about everything else you want to turn out crunchy and crispy. It's a purely New Orleans blend of high-quality, all-purpose flour perfectly seasoned to give you the ideal coating on chicken filets, cube steaks, okra, eggplant calamari, French fries, calf's liver, soft-shell crabs, scallops, and everything "country." Go ahead and fry all your seafood in Frank Davis Fish Fry... but fry everything else you cook in "Chicken-Fried" Mix.

Gourmet Fish Fry
30 lb. sack, 6.5 lb. Gallon & 12 oz. Bottle
Use it to batter and fry fish filets, shrimp, soft-shell crabs, Cajun popcorn, crawfish tails, and alligator. It won't fall off in the oil, it won't absorb grease, it won't soak up the New Orleans humidity, and it produces seafood that comes out super crunchy. And get this--you do not use an egg wash with this fish fry! Just follow package directions to the letter. Oh--and for a little lagniappe, mix what's leftover with a little milk, some baking powder, a couple of eggs and a handful of chopped onion and you got yo'sef a mess of hush puppies.

Vegetable Mix
Use it on every kind of fresh or frozen vegetable to give it that "seasoned to perfection" taste. Just sprinkle it right out of the bottle. Also blend a couple of teaspoons of vegetable mix with a little balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil for some of the most delicious salad dressing you ever tasted!

Seafood Seasoning
Use it on baked, grilled, stewed or pan-sauteed fish, shrimp, oysters, crawfish tails, soft-shell crabs, calamari and alligator. Use in sauces, etoufees, gumbos, jambalayas, chowders, bisques, soups and courtbouillions. Use it to season all your seafood that you cook in a gravy or a sauce.

Beef Seasoning
Use it on your ribeyes, New York Strips, filet mignons, round steaks, porterhouses, rump and chuck roasts; use it for making meatballs, chili, hot tamales, meat sauce, meatloaf, hamburgers and tacos. Use it to season pot roasts, stews, and brown gravies. And here's a hint--because beef seasoning is rich in cumin use it when grilling skinless chicken breasts to give them that "fajitas" taste without all the added fat!

Pork Seasoning
Use on all pork cuts and dishes: roasts, chops, ribs and cubes. Use to season ground pork, sausage blends, and ham. Put in your pork gravies and sauces. Oh--and sprinkle a little of it over your hot popcorn the moment it comes out of the microwave oven. It's gonna taste just like "spicy Cajun crawtaters." Popcorn won't ever be the same!!

Sprinkling Spice
This is the one seasoning blended for use "after" the food is cooked! Actually, it was designed to completely replace your salt and pepper shaker. So we suggest you keep it on your table and use it instead of salt and pepper on salads, grits, mashed potatoes, fried eggs, grilled meat, beans and rice, and whatever else needs just a tad more spice.

Sicilian Seasoning
This is authentic New Orleans Italian! Use it for tomato gravy and sauces; in meatballs; for seasoning bread crumbs; in artichoke stuffing; on pizzas; for smothering eggplants; on Italian chicken; for bruccialoni, cacciatore, parmigiana, caponata, marinara, minestroni, pasta and lasagna. If you've never ever been able to create that unique Italian taste, you will when you use this blend! It's almost as good as being born in Palermo! One hint--mix some of this with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and use it instead of butter then making garlic bread! Mama Mia!!

Poultry Seasoning
Use it on every chicken, turkey, duck, goose, game hen, or capon you cook. First, season lightly with salt and pepper; then sprinkle liberally and rub in well with your hands.

Wild Game Seasoning
This is the ultimate in flavoring wild game! Use it on ducks, geese, poule deau, rails, snipe, deer, rabbits, squirrels, doves, quail, bear, pheasants, moose, elk and all your other wild game dishes.

Frank has pulled together the absolute "best of the best" hometown creations for this book. But it's so much more than that!

But if you're not interested in that and all you want is a great book or great New Orleans recipes...you got it!
