Iceberg Wedge Salad with Buttermilk Blue and Spiced Pecans

August 24, 2020 by George Graham 10 Comments

Iceberg Wedge Salad with Buttermilk Blue and Spiced Pecans

There was a time, and I remember it well, that iceberg lettuce ruled the salad world.  In those days, lettuce simply was iceberg – no options.  Today, the varieties are staggering;  mixed greens, micro-greens, arugula, frisée, romaine, endive, and on and on.  Not only are the options endless, but it seems that iceberg has gotten…

Pulled Pork Tacos with Creole Crema

April 29, 2019 by George Graham 2 Comments

Pulled Pork Tacos with Creole Crema

For Cinco de Mayo, South of the border meets South Louisiana in this Pulled Pork Tacos with Creole Crema–a taco taste sensation. I love how the citrus flavors of the orange-brined pork shoulder are elevated by the spike of jalapeños and Cajun seasoning that work so deliciously with farm-fresh vegetables. And the cool and creamy…

Salmon and Shrimp Salad with Grapefruit Vinaigrette

Salmon and Shrimp Salad with Grapefruit Vinaigrette

For a born and fed bayou boy like me, eating light in the summer makes up for the countless pounds of boiled crawfish I consumed this spring.  And it gives me pause for the endless bowls of gumbo to come this fall.  That’s why today’s fresh Salmon and Shrimp Salad featuring poached salmon and sautéed…

Crab and Avocado Napoleon with Spicy Citrus Salsa and Creole Green Goddess

September 19, 2016 by George Graham 3 Comments

Crab and Avocado Napoleon with Spicy Citrus Salsa and Creole Green Goddess

More and more these days, I’m seeing traditional South Louisiana restaurants serving Cajun and Creole dishes with plate presentation techniques that impress. The days of a sprig of parsley and wedge of lemon are over. Simple things: a swish of sauce, a cedar plank fish, a scooped-out bread bowl, or even a “Frenched” bone exposed…

Cajun-Spiced Lettuce Cups with Vidalia Onion Relish

Kale Caesar with Grilled Shrimp

Kale Caesar with Grilled Shrimp

For the past few years, fresh kale has been on a run showing up on restaurant menus all over America. Even here at my Acadiana Table, I’ve tossed it into soups, braised it in stews and served it pan sautéed as a side dish. So, this weekend I stumbled on a neat trick while making…

Blackened Brussels & Kale Salad

May 11, 2015 by George Graham 2 Comments

Blackened Brussels & Kale Salad

Ever since renowned Cajun Chef Paul Prudhomme blackened his first redfish in the 1980s, you would think that all South Louisiana folks burn just about everything they cook. Not so.  But just go to any wanna-be Cajun restaurant outside of Louisiana and you’ll see a menu full of these overdone dishes. Enough already. Or well,…

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…
