Bourbon Pecan Pie

November 21, 2022 by George Graham 16 Comments

Bourbon Pecan Pie

With its deep dark syrup set in a custard base, the smoky bourbon and molasses bring flavor to the scent of toasted pecans in this iconic Bourbon Pecan Pie. I was recently asked what the most popular sweet dessert in Louisiana is, and as usual, I began to complicate the answer with questions of my…

Lemon Meringue Pie

Lemon Meringue Pie

With a tart lemon custard, a slice of my Lemon Meringue Pie will make your mouth pucker and smile. It is a classic Southern dessert that is as easy to make as delicious. But first, a slice of history. This Deep South dish was invented in England by George Fox, founder of the Quakers during…

Strawberry Muffins

Strawberry Muffins

Scratch-baking a batch of strawberry muffins sounds like a lot of work for a fruit that is so easily consumed simply piled high atop a scoop of ice cream or morning bowl of cereal, but there is a reason.  When baked, Louisiana strawberries take on a deeper and richer taste–a syrupy sweet depth of flavor. …

Watermelon Bread

August 4, 2020 by George Graham 13 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…

Sweet Dough. Sweet Life.

June 9, 2020 by George Graham 36 Comments

Sweet Dough.  Sweet Life.

Blackberry Sweet Dough Pie with delicate pastry focuses on the burst of juicy flavor from sweet blackberries picked fresh.  It is a dish that brings me back to a time long ago and the flavors I long for. Among my fondest memories of growing up in the Deep South are picking pails of fresh blackberries…

Strawberry Cobbler with Chambord Whipped Cream

Strawberry Cobbler with Chambord Whipped Cream

Nothing beats fresh strawberries in season, and here in South Louisiana, we are blessed with an abundance of the crop. I like them chilled over a bowl of corn flakes, crowning a big ol’ biscuit topped with ice cream, or whole berries dipped in chocolate—there’s no end to the ways I enjoy strawberries. But here…

Les Oreilles De Cochon – Pig’s Ear Pastry

December 8, 2014 by George Graham 12 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…
