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

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…

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…

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,…
