Creole Seasoned Baked Chicken with Vegetable Gratin

Hoisin Glazed Salmon Steaks with Jerusalem Artichokes
I miss my fishmonger. There’s that personal interaction; he knows who I am, what I like and what might tempt me. He is knowledgeable of and has more than a pecuniary interest in his products. He is funny and though I … Continue reading

Magret de Canard a la Vanille

Faux Gumbo
I had a whole chicken and shrimp in the freezer and that, along with refrigerated odds and ends, sounded like gumbo to me. Problem is, my file gumbo powder is in Sens and I have never made gumbo with okra, … Continue reading
