Okra and Tomatoes with Stewed Chicken and Sausage

February 9, 2015 by George Graham 7 Comments

Okra and Tomatoes with Stewed Chicken and Sausage

Here’s the thing–okra is a vegetable of extremes.  For the most part, folks tend to categorize okra as a “love it or hate it” relationship.  It’s hard to be indifferent about okra.  True Southerners, and especially good Cajun cooks, identify strongly with okra.  But, even within okra circles there are those that love it in…

Quinoa Salad with Louisiana Shrimp

September 22, 2014 by George Graham 3 Comments

Quinoa Salad with Louisiana Shrimp

I am a Whole Foods Market fanatic. Always have been. Many years ago, I trekked all the way to Houston just to walk the aisles of this foodie fantasyland. Then later, Whole Foods moved closer with the opening of the New Orleans market, and then even closer in Baton Rouge. My wife Roxanne teases that I…

Cajun Cracklins

March 24, 2014 by George Graham 56 Comments

Cajun Cracklins

I admit it. Cajun cracklins are addictive,  I am a recovering cracklin’ addict and am now in a 12-step program on the way to enlightenment.  Okay, so I am embellishing a bit.  But, just a bit.  Hear my story. I was first grabbed by the demon porcine pleasure at a later stage of life when…

Rox’s Roux

January 27, 2014 by George Graham 33 Comments

Rox’s Roux

Making a dark Cajun roux from scratch is a dying art.  Not too many years ago, there wasn’t a Cajun or Creole household in South Louisiana that didn’t have the unmistakably intense aroma of a dark roux, in all its glory, wafting through the kitchen.  Home cooks were taught basic roux-making skills early on, and…

Pork Rib Fricassée

December 2, 2013 by George Graham 2 Comments

Pork Rib Fricassée

My Pork Rib Fricassée is a tried and true French preparation that is just as popular in Acadiana.  Pork ribs, cooked down in a savory fricassée, is a classic old-school Acadian stew.  Dressed up with smoked sausage, fresh rosemary out of my herb garden and field okra from  Gotreaux Family Farm, it is a satisfying one-dish…

Softshell Crabs Benedict

September 30, 2013 by George Graham 5 Comments

Softshell Crabs Benedict

My recent discovery of Softshell Crabs Benedict – the absolutely perfect South Louisiana brunch – came by accident.  I pride myself on knowing beforehand the trendy new eateries constantly springing up in Acadiana, so I was surprised to learn of a new brunch spot when my daughter Lauren called. “Brick and Spoon?” “Yeah Dad, it…

Chocolate Nests

Chocolate Nests

This is a silly little recipe for Chocolate Nests that my daughter has perfected.  It’s genius in its simplicity.  But, leave it to me to complicate it a tad. My daughter Lauren is a sophomore at Louisiana State University and after spending her freshman year in the dorm, she is now living in her first…

Pork Jowl and Fried Green Tomato BLT with Spicy Mayo

In this Pork Jowl and Fried Green Tomato BLT recipe, pork jowl, when peppered and paired with fried green tomatoes, makes an especially tasty elevated version of a BLT sandwich.  It’s an all-natural use of farm-to-table ingredients celebrating Southern culture and the importance of the whole hog as a food source. Americans are addicted to…

Sweet and Simple: Gateau Sirop

May 9, 2012 by George Graham 4 Comments

Sweet and Simple: Gateau Sirop

Nothing could be more pure and simple than a slice of Gateau Sirop—a Cajun syrup cake. This spiced, dark cake oozing with sugarcane is a rich pastry that home cooks nonchalantly describe as an “everyday” cake. This classic dessert is built on sugarcane, one of the essential ingredients of Acadiana, and Steen’s brand cane syrup…
