Asparagus Soup

May 19, 2025 by George Graham 9 Comments

Asparagus Soup

The delicate flavor of asparagus makes a bold statement when cooked down into a soul-satisfying bowl of Asparagus Soup. It’s a fresh taste of spring in a bowl. Asparagus is a mainstay in my kitchen, and I use it in so many creative ways. Roasted, grilled, and steamed are obvious, but when we stumbled upon…

Shrimp and Artichoke Soup

April 14, 2025 by George Graham 3 Comments

Shrimp and Artichoke Soup

One of the most popular Louisiana soups is shrimp and artichoke. You’ll see it on the menus of restaurants specializing in Cajun or Creole dishes, and it is just as popular in rural Acadiana lunchrooms as it is in citified New Orleans restaurants. I’ve even seen it featured on Italian menus. It is casual, yet…

Shrimp and Okra Gumbo

March 31, 2025 by George Graham 54 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…

Soupe à l’oignon Gratinée – The French Louisiana Version

March 24, 2025 by George Graham 10 Comments

Soupe à l’oignon Gratinée – The French Louisiana Version

According to the French there are two ways to make classic onion soup – the right way and the wrong way. And even though the French are accustomed to being a bit arrogant when it comes to their cuisine, I must agree. Here’s why. Like many, for years I made my onion soup with the…

Chicken and Smoked Sausage Gumbo

March 3, 2025 by George Graham 46 Comments

Chicken and Smoked Sausage Gumbo

It’s Fat Monday, ya’ll!  Lundi Gras (French for Fat Monday) ramps up the Mardi Gras holiday with a full schedule of parades, balls, and of course, the Courir de Mardi Gras—the rural Cajun celebration before the beginning of Lent. Break out your capuchon (a cone-shaped ceremonial hat), don a colorful mask, tank up with your…

Seafood Bisque

February 3, 2025 by George Graham 41 Comments

Seafood Bisque

With its creamy depth of seafood flavor accented by white wine and the rich flavor of artichoke hearts, my Seafood Bisque is a rich and decadent Louisiana dish that is as historical as it is delicious. This Seafood Bisque is what I like to call “Haute Creole.” It’s a classic, time-honored, New Orleans specialty served…

Black Bean Soup

January 13, 2025 by George Graham 9 Comments

Black Bean Soup

I’ve had a lifelong Latin love affair with frijoles negros (black beans)—a dark and mysterious recipe that I just can’t get enough of. And once you’ve loaded a spoonful of my steaming hot Black Bean Soup topped with a cold dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of red onions and chopped cilantro, you’ll become a Latin…

Guinea Gumbo

November 4, 2024 by George Graham 22 Comments

Guinea Gumbo

From the pages of my latest cookbook Fresh From Louisiana: The Soul of Cajun and Creole Home Cooking, this Guinea Gumbo recipe is an old-school Cajun classic. Steeped in tradition and infused with rich gumbo flavors, every spoonful defines the art of Cajun cooking. I remember it like it was yesterday: the day, over 30…

Crawfish and Pumpkin Bisque

October 28, 2024 by George Graham 13 Comments

Crawfish and Pumpkin Bisque

As Halloween and Thanksgiving approach, this hearty Crawfish and Pumpkin Bisque defines the holiday season in Acadiana for me and represents the best of rural farm-to-table sourcing.  Combining the sweet tail meat of crawfish and fresh seasonal corn cut from the cob, it is certainly a winning combination.  But, when you introduce pumpkin along with…

White Beans with Hambone: The Instant Pot Version

September 29, 2024 by George Graham 12 Comments

White Beans with Hambone: The Instant Pot Version

Smoky, meaty, warming, and filling with a depth of Cajun spice, my White Beans infused with a flavor-packed hambone is comfort in a bowl. There are times that my sole purpose for baking a whole bone-in ham is for the hambone. While I don’t profess that you go to that extreme, I do expect that…
