Blood Orange Salad

June 19, 2023 by George Graham 1 Comment

Blood Orange Salad

Blood orange.  I just like the sound of it.  A citrus so ripe, rich and juicy it bleeds flavor.  It drips intense, acidic plasma that drains the life out of the fruit.  Ok, so I’m dramatizing a bit.  But, just a bit.  These are orgasmic oranges with a bright and biting taste that begs for…

Fried Softshell Crab topped with Crawfish Étouffée

Sadly, the Yellow Bowl Restaurant, an iconic Cajun café, closed for business last week. Today, my story pays tribute to this gem–a culinary shrine that will live on in the memories of many folks who live in Acadiana. Lately, I’ve gotten lots of questions from folks outside of Louisiana who want to know more about…

Chicken-Stuffed Bell Peppers with Maque Choux Sauce

May 1, 2023 by George Graham 11 Comments

Chicken-Stuffed Bell Peppers with Maque Choux Sauce

When I saw the bin of ripe green bell peppers at my local farmer’s market, I immediately thought of stuffing them.  In Cajun country, stuffing sweet peppers with ground anything is a basic Cajun recipe that every home cook knows by heart.  Usually it’s a mixture of beef and pork sausage with just the right…

Apple Gateau with Calvados Crème Sauce

My Apple Gateau with Calvados Crème Sauce balances tart fruit with sweet creaminess against the delicate crumb of a perfectly baked cake.  The French liqueur adds elegance that makes this a special occasion for any dinner. Plus, it’s simple to make. If you were to ask me why I love this Apple Gateau with Calvados…

Heirloom Tomato Soup

April 17, 2023 by George Graham 4 Comments

Heirloom Tomato Soup

You say tomato, I say soup.  It goes without saying that a steaming hot bowl of tomato soup is the ultimate comfort food. You know exactly what I mean–it feels warm and cozy just like that old pair of fur-lined slippers you refuse to throw out (c’mon, admit it). Tomato soup is quite good right…

Creole Snapper En Papillote

April 10, 2023 by George Graham 6 Comments

Creole Snapper En Papillote

What is it about cooking en papillote (in a paper bag) that seems so civilized and celebratory?  Cooking food in parchment paper wrapped tightly to hold in the steam and juices is a mainstream technique that is embraced by many culinary cultures.  The Italians have their al cartoccio, but the French seem to seal the…

Blackened Brussels & Kale Salad

April 3, 2023 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,…

Crawfish Étouffée

February 20, 2023 by George Graham 216 Comments

Crawfish Étouffée

Just think of it: Fresh Louisiana crawfish tail meat swimming in a lightly thickened butter sauce infused with spices and aromatics over a mound of white rice. This is the purest expression of Cajun cooking I know and love. It’s that time of year, and in case you missed it, here is my recipe. But…
