Orzo, Shrimp and Kale Salad

June 13, 2022 by George Graham 11 Comments

Orzo, Shrimp and Kale Salad

More and more, I see orzo pasta showing up on the Acadiana table of folks who didn’t even know it existed a few years ago.  Cajun and Creole home cooks are a stubborn bunch who hold to Cajun recipe tradition more so than most cultures.  But in my Orzo, Shrimp and Kale Salad recipe, this ingredient…

Fire up the backyard grill for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend; it’s time for a classic hamburger.

Cream of Cauliflower, Garlic and Fennel Soup with Goat Cheese Crouton

May 9, 2022 by George Graham 2 Comments

Cream of Cauliflower, Garlic and Fennel Soup with Goat Cheese Crouton

These days, home cooks are moving toward freshly prepared, light, and healthy dishes.  However, Louisiana cooks don’t always follow conventional wisdom. This time of year, you are just as likely to see a hearty etouffée or a platter of steak, rice, and gravy on the dinner table.  But with my Cream of Cauliflower Soup, you can…

Perfect Herb-Roasted Chicken

May 2, 2022 by George Graham 16 Comments

Perfect Herb-Roasted Chicken

Roasting a whole chicken is as basic to French Acadian cooking as it is to French Provencal cooking.  Although the spice blends vary and most Louisianans would be stumped at the thought of trussing a bird, the two cultures still elevate the lowly poulet to a stellar dish. It seems these days that roasting a…

Gumbo Z’herbes

March 28, 2022 by George Graham 7 Comments

Gumbo Z’herbes

The heady aroma of fresh greens (collards, spinach, chard, and kale, to name a few) simmering on a stovetop is heavenly. And with just one bowl of this roux-infused Gumbo Z’herbes, you’re praying for a second helping. As in most culinary cultures, religion has an impact on the dishes of South Louisiana with gumbo z’herbes…

Shrimp and Okra Gumbo

March 21, 2022 by George Graham 45 Comments

Shrimp and Okra Gumbo

Just last week I was telling a good friend that I had plans to make Shrimp and Okra Gumbo for the weekend.  Without hesitation, she asked, “Cajun gumbo or Creole gumbo?”  Oh, here I go again.  After a 10-minute explanation, I could see my friend regretted even asking the question.  But, it is a difficult…

Blackened Bloody Mary

In South Louisiana, celebrations abound on the weekend before Mardi Gras, but one party just keeps on going year-round.  And this Blackened Bloody Mary cocktail pays tribute to one Cajun lady who knew how to party Louisiana-style. Fred’s Lounge located on the main drag in Mamou is an original, off-beat piece of the French Acadian…

5 Keys To The Perfect Muffuletta

Here in Acadiana, we love a celebration, and with Mardi Gras coming up, our party season is just getting started.  Parties, balls, parades — the Mardi Gras celebration in Louisiana doesn’t really stop until early March when the Lenten season calms things down.  So, with plenty of party planning still ahead, it’s time for a…

Meatball Fricassée – A Classic Roux-Based Recipe

This old-school Cajun recipe for Meatball Fricassée is one of my favorites and is seen often across the rural culinary landscape of South Louisiana. Deep, dark and full of bold roux-based flavor, this is a prime example of Acadiana roots cooking. And with a jar of our own Rox’s Roux at the ready, this is…
