Scuppernong-Glazed Bourbon Beef Ribs with Tasso Potato Gratin

September 11, 2023 by George Graham Leave a Comment

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-Stuffed Bell Peppers with Maque Choux Sauce

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…

Roast Beef Po’boy

November 28, 2022 by George Graham 68 Comments

Roast Beef Po’boy

Growing up in South Louisiana, po’boys were just about as common as hamburgers are today. In small towns back then, we didn’t have a burger chain on every corner. It was mostly mom-and-pop sandwich shops and greasy spoon cafés that put out their home-cooked specialties, especially a down-home Louisiana roast beef po’boy. I grew up…

Tomahawk Ribeye

October 31, 2022 by George Graham 28 Comments

Tomahawk Ribeye

Now and then, I must seek out the thickest cut of beef I can find for a manly meal. It is a primal urge. Cooking steaks portioned in gargantuan slabs are not really about the quantity of the meat, but rather it is all about the quality of the outcome. Let me explain. Over the…

French Mustard-Braised Rabbit

September 19, 2022 by George Graham 11 Comments

French Mustard-Braised Rabbit

Smothered down in a wine-infused braise of two mustards, the rich white meat of rabbit cooks low and slow in this tart and tantalizing combination of flavors. It’s Louisiana French meets European French in this French Mustard-Braised Rabbit recipe. The people of South Louisiana have many ancestral ties to their French cultural roots–cooking included. For…

Orzo, Shrimp and Kale Salad

June 13, 2022 by George Graham 11 Comments

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…

Cream of Cauliflower, Garlic and Fennel Soup with Goat Cheese Crouton

Cream of Cauliflower, Garlic and Fennel Soup with Goat Cheese Crouton

These days, home cooks are moving toward freshly prepared, light, and healthy dishes.  However, Louisiana cooks don’t always follow conventional wisdom. This time of year, you are just as likely to see a hearty etouffée or a platter of steak, rice, and gravy on the dinner table.  But with my Cream of Cauliflower Soup, you can…

Perfect Herb-Roasted Chicken

May 2, 2022 by George Graham 16 Comments

Perfect Herb-Roasted Chicken

Roasting a whole chicken is as basic to French Acadian cooking as it is to French Provencal cooking.  Although the spice blends vary and most Louisianans would be stumped at the thought of trussing a bird, the two cultures still elevate the lowly poulet to a stellar dish. It seems these days that roasting a…

Shrimp and Okra Gumbo

March 21, 2022 by George Graham 46 Comments

Shrimp and Okra Gumbo

Just last week I was telling a good friend that I had plans to make Shrimp and Okra Gumbo for the weekend.  Without hesitation, she asked, “Cajun gumbo or Creole gumbo?”  Oh, here I go again.  After a 10-minute explanation, I could see my friend regretted even asking the question.  But, it is a difficult…

Whole Flounder stuffed with Louisiana Shrimp

November 23, 2020 by George Graham 7 Comments

Whole Flounder stuffed with Louisiana Shrimp

To me, flounder is flat-out the most delectable of all the Gulf finfish.  And for my money, a classic Cajun recipe for stuffed whole flounder with wild-caught, Gulf shrimp is the ultimate dish for someone as seafood-obsessed as me.  Whenever I see it on a restaurant menu, I can’t resist.  And I couldn’t resist the…
