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…

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 41 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…

Chicken and Smoked Sausage Gumbo

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…

Red Bean, Mustard Green, and Green Onion Sausage Soup

January 31, 2022 by George Graham 10 Comments

Red Bean, Mustard Green, and Green Onion Sausage Soup

Beans and greens mean winter to me.  And this hearty soup filled with creamy red beans, bitter mustard greens, and acidic tomatoes can only be elevated with Cajun green onion pork sausage.  I love the depth of flavor and spice in this Red Bean, Mustard Green, and Green Onion Sausage Soup. And I love the…

Pork Curry

January 24, 2022 by George Graham 1 Comment

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…

White Beans with Hambone: The Instant Pot Version

December 6, 2021 by George Graham 8 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…

Seafood Bisque

September 27, 2021 by George Graham 40 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…

Summer Squash Soup

June 21, 2021 by George Graham 7 Comments

Summer Squash Soup

Slow simmered and puréed into a smooth, bisque-like creaminess, my Summer Squash Soup explodes with the fresh flavors of the season. Spiced with a light hand, I love how the vegetables shine brightly with just a hint of mint and the gentle bite of sweet onion. While I confess to eating lighter in the heat…

5-Bean Kale Soup

March 22, 2021 by George Graham 2 Comments

5-Bean Kale Soup

With the smokiness of ham and bacon as the backdrop for the assortment of beans, fresh kale, herbs, and spices, my 5-Bean Kale Soup is packed with soul-satisfying flavor. As south Louisiana comes out of hibernation, kale begins showing up at markets everywhere. And when the windy March chill sends you shivering, I pull out…
