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…

Heirloom Tomato Soup

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 215 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…

Catfish Head Stew

Catfish Head Stew

On a crisp, cool Friday morning on my way to Eunice, Louisiana, to stock up on my favorite garlic smoked sausage at my friend Kermit Lejeune’s smokehouse, I drove past a little market on the highway heading west out of Opelousas. I did not have seafood on my mind, but it was the colorful exterior…

Cajun-Fried Steak with Boudin Cream Gravy

Crisp, crackling crust surrounding a tenderized slab of beef can only get better with cream gravy. But not just any gravy; it’s boudin cream gravy. This Cajun-Fried Steak recipe from the heart of South Louisiana ups the ante on our Texas neighbor that’s sure to start a feud. Time to lock and load; it’s a…

Crawfish Baked Potato

Crawfish Baked Potato

I know many of you will agree that nothing goes better with a thick, juicy steak than a baked potato. I’ve been to the fanciest steakhouses in all the land and when it comes to the perfect side dish, I’ll order a baked potato–loaded, for sure–every time. Oh, I’ve tried the creamed spinach, the frou-frou…
