Neal Bertrand was born and reared in Opelousas, Louisiana, in the heart of Cajun Country. He is by no means a professional cook. He has had no culinary training. He had only cooked one meal, a jambalaya, in his rice cooker before starting this project. But by getting in the kitchen and experimenting for several months, Rice Cooker Meals: Fast Home Cooking for Busy People has come to life.
He had more than a decade of experience in the publishing business before publishing his first cookbook. He is the founder and owner of Cypress Cove Publishing in Lafayette, Louisiana. His two previous publications are Down-Home Cajun Cooking Favorites and the bi-lingual (English & French) Cajun Country Fun Coloring and Activity Book.
He has also published a collection of authentic Cajun art prints – beautiful South Louisiana landscapes, all painted by his father, Curtis. All of his books, art prints, rice cookers and other products can be seen and ordered from his websites, www.CypressCovePublishing.com or www.RiceCookerMeals.com.
