Louisiana Shrimp Creole
Paul Prudhomme, the legendary chef most responsible for the worldwide popularity of Cajun and Creole cuisine, passed away in 2015. In tribute to him, this shrimp Creole recipe and story celebrates his legacy that lives on in the black iron pots of our precious foodways he so dearly loved and helped preserve. All hail, Chef…
Smoked Green Onion Sausage and Creole Red Onions featuring Savoie’s Sausage
There is an area just west of Lafayette, Louisiana that is known for its German heritage. Roberts Cove is at the center of it, and it is home to a long lineage of German immigrants who settled the Acadiana prairie in 1880. This was a little over a century after the French Acadians found their…
Grilled Chicken Pasta Salad
Rox and I stay incredibly busy most all week long, and now and then we enjoy just kicking our feet up and relaxing with a bottle of wine and a no-fuss dinner. It is those kinds of evenings that I stumble upon dishes and recipes like this simple Grilled Chicken Pasta Salad that otherwise would…
Peach Muscadine Sangria
Poolside afternoons in the heat of summer are just begging for a fresh, fruity cocktail–ice-cold with just a hint of fragrant sweetness. I usually revert to a pitcher of margaritas or mojitos, but lately I’ve been thinking a lot about sangria; a recipe for Peach Muscadine Sangria to be exact. I’ll admit it: Sangria is…
Cajun-Fried Catfish Bánh Mì
For obvious reason, here in South Louisiana a bánh mì sandwich is referred to as a Vietnamese po’boy. Built upon a similar French bread loaf, it doesn’t take a great stretch of imagination to see the similarities in the two sandwiches. But delving deeper, the two have even more in common than just bread. And…
Fire-Roasted Red Pepper Pimento Cheese
In the Deep South, pimento cheese is the mortar that holds society together. Whether sandwiched between two slices of white bread or elegantly stuffed in a stalk of celery, no Southerner worth his salt would be without a basic pimento cheese recipe. And my recipe for Red Pepper Pimento Cheese ups the ante with Creole…
Louisiana Shrimp Roll
When Louisiana summer heats up, Louisiana food cools down. Seldom does gumbo appear on the home dinner table when temps approach 100ºF and the clamor to escape the stifling heat includes the menu. Ice-cold watermelon, sweet-churned ice cream, syrupy sno balls and pitchers of freshly squeezed lemonade are just a few of the warm-weather tricks…
Poached Eggs over Fried Green Tomatoes with Crabmeat Hollandaise and Gouda Grits
Rise and shine: It’s perfectly poached eggs oozing liquid sunshine all over two crispy cornmeal-battered fried green tomatoes topped off with a glorious crabmeat-infused hollandaise, and all served up with a bowl of creamy Gouda grits. It’s weekend brunch in Acadiana. Once I decided to create this spectacular dish in my kitchen, I set out…
Orzo, Shrimp and Kale Salad
More and more, I see orzo pasta showing up on the Acadiana table of folks who didn’t even know it existed a few years ago. Cajun and Creole home cooks are a stubborn bunch who hold to Cajun recipe tradition more so than most cultures. But in my Orzo, Shrimp and Kale Salad recipe, this ingredient…
