The Italian Side of Cajun

December 11, 2023 by George Graham 14 Comments

The Italian Side of Cajun

There’s no appetizer more dramatic than an Italian Stuffed Artichoke in all its regal glory. Each tender olive oil-laced leaf holding onto a treasure chest of Italian ingredients, and all baked just long enough to meld those exotic tastes together. This simple Cajun recipe  version makes a culinary statement and packs a wallop of flavor. I’ve…

Cajun Cracklins

Cajun Cracklins

I admit it. Cajun cracklins are addictive,  I am a recovering cracklin’ addict and am now in a 12-step program on the way to enlightenment.  Okay, so I am embellishing a bit.  But, just a bit.  Hear my story. I was first grabbed by the demon porcine pleasure at a later stage of life when…

Les Oreilles De Cochon – Pig’s Ear Pastry

October 16, 2023 by George Graham 13 Comments

Les Oreilles De Cochon – Pig’s Ear Pastry

I love hometown cookbooks. You know the kind I’m talking about. Not the glossy, full color, celebrity chef-endorsed titles that scream from the shelf of the big box bookstores. No, these are the quiet, little regional books–usually comb-bound with no photographs–tucked neatly in rows far from the main displays. These are the cookbooks that define…

Sugarcane-Glazed Spareribs

October 9, 2023 by George Graham 2 Comments

Sugarcane-Glazed Spareribs

“Low and slow, son,” that’s what my daddy always told me was the key to cooking ribs. He’d fire up the pit on a Saturday morning and by the time the afternoon sun was setting, we’d be in pig heaven. Growing up in small town Louisiana, pork ribs–especially spareribs (my father’s favorite)–was the only barbecue…

Beef and Mushroom Pot Pie

October 2, 2023 by George Graham 4 Comments

Beef and Mushroom Pot Pie

Cooking meat in a rich red wine sauce is classic French and is equally common in French Louisiana. Cajun hunting camp cooks love to braise tough cuts of wild game and infuse the pot with wine and stock.   The technique works with any number of meats and around Acadiana, beef is a natural. Boeuf bourguignon,…

Scuppernong-Glazed Bourbon Beef Ribs with Tasso Potato Gratin

I am a meticulous planner by nature as well as by profession.  That attention to detail has served me well these many years, but truth be told, I’ve grown tired of it.  It seems that as I’ve aged, I’ve let loose of the need to fastidiously program every waking minute of my life.  Except for…

Chicken Braised in Tarragon Cream

July 24, 2023 by George Graham 15 Comments

Chicken Braised in Tarragon Cream

French tarragon is an alluring aromatic herb, and when used with subtleness, it can turn most any humble dish–chicken especially–into a showcase of sublime flavor.  But, I didn’t always cook with tarragon until one night I was properly introduced to a now-favorite recipe for Chicken Braised in Tarragon Cream. I recall dining years ago at…

Watermelon Bread

July 17, 2023 by George Graham 17 Comments

Watermelon Bread

Watermelon stands lining the side of the rural parish roads are an especially Southern thing.  Truckloads begin arriving as the temperature soars, and there is no better way to cool down than a slice of ice-cold watermelon on the back porch steps.  Or maybe there is: Watermelon Bread – hot out of the oven. I’ve…

Blackened Catfish with Lemon Rosemary Sauce

Rich and savory with butter and spices, the first bite of my Blackened Catfish with Lemon Rosemary Sauce will shift your taste buds into overdrive. The browned butter develops an almost nutty taste that balances with the herbs and spices infused with white wine. And if you follow our step-by-step video in this story, it’s…

Strawberry Shortcake Jars

Strawberry Shortcake Jars

In the South, strawberry shortcake and the 4th of July just go hand-in-hand. There’s no better way to top off a backyard holiday barbecue than with fresh seasonal fruit topped with whipped cream. These Strawberry Shortcake Jars are the simplest recipe that delivers crowd-pleasing results every time. So, how can we improve upon perfection? I grew…
