This Grilled Grouper Sandwich is a culinary masterpiece. The herbal intensity of rosemary bathes the fish in smoke-kissed flames that mingle with Cajun spice and a zesty lemon vinaigrette to create “perfection on a bun.” The crisp bun, crunchy lettuce, vinegary pickled red onion, and creamy rémoulade all combine to redefine the term “fish sandwich”…
Peach Muscadine Sangria
Poolside afternoons in the heat of summer are just begging for a fresh, fruity cocktail–ice-cold with just a hint of fragrant sweetness.

Fig-Glazed Double-Cut Stuffed Pork Chop with Andouille Rice
A stuffed pork chop with sausage or any number of different spice-infused stuffing mixtures is a Cajun recipe that has grown in popularity.

Herbed Potato Salad
Fresh herbs from my garden shine in this creative take on a popular summertime side dish–my Herbed Potato Salad. And from my trial-and-error experience, marinating overnight is essential for deep flavors to penetrate the potatoes. Granted, I love a traditional Southern potato salad with its creamy mayonnaise base. Everyone has a favorite recipe that’s a…
Pork Curry
Coconut-kissed stock infused with the aromatic flavors of curry and a sweet spike of pineapple combine in this bowl of Cajun pork neck bones to build a Pork Curry soup that ramps up the flavor to international levels. Listen up: I am a sucker for Asian spice. I’ve never been to Asia, but with my…

Potato Chip-Fried Shrimp Boat
As I travel the backroads of Louisiana, I sometimes wander outside my home territory of Acadiana and find a culinary treasure hidden “off the eatin’ path.” Such is the case with Morton’s Restaurant on the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain.
