I love this idea Rona! I have SF New Orleans too and love it.

I also have SugarBust for Life by the Brennans.
SB for Life has a handy food list divided into categories: Food for Feasting (low GI); Foods for Moderation (medium GI); and Forbidden Foods (high GI). I do question a couple of items on the Forbidden List - carrots of course have been retested and are now considered ok (not so I assume when the book was published) and they list prunes which have a GI of 29. So I don't understand the inclusion of prunes as forbidden food.

The next chapter has a great section of already planned menus. Very useful when you are first getting started.

And there is just some solid info about Low GI Eating.

For those who wory about fat there is info about modifying the recipes for Lower Fat .

Many of the recipes are from their restaurant in New Orleans.

Here's a sampling:
Cream of Artichoke Soup Horseradish Sauce
Louisianna Colesaw
Lemon Baked Fish
Buttermilk Chicken
Sweet Potatoes with Lime
Hot Fudge Sauce
Almond Lemon cookies

There are also several bread recipes including some for the bread machine.

The book concludes with a very nice Brand name Market Guide.

I use this book a lot.
