Chef Paul Richards Presents:

Autumn on the Bayou  (Hands On)

Between Houston, Texas and Mobile, Alabama lies the Bayou of Louisiana, the home of Creole and Cajun style cooking.  Although usually lumped together, these two types of cuisine have distinct flavor and cultural differences. Creole is a blend of French and Spanish cultures with Portuguese, Italian and African influences. Creole cooking is fancy, classic cuisine featuring shrimp and oysters. Cajun, the simpler, more rustic style often yields dishes made in one pot. The holy trinity of onions, bell peppers and celery, the flavor base for Creole and Cajun dishes, ties the two together in one tasty harmony.

Abita Brewing Amber Beer

Maque Choux Corn Soup

Louisiana Sunburst Salad

Picayune Shrimp Jambalaya
