Cajun Cooker

about me

Have lived in Kinder, LA with my 2nd husband for 11 years, but was born and raised in Gueydan, LA (home of the International Duck Festival). I came from a long line of good cajun cooks and I love to cook. My hubby is a happy camper! I wish I could retire (I'm a computer drafter for the state of LA) and do nothing but cook and bake.

Favorite Foods:

Any kind of seafood: Shrimp, crab, oysters, crawfish and fish (preferrably good ol' catfish) cooked in a gumbo, sauce piquant, baked, broiled or fried. Also enjoy authentic Mexican food, as well as chinese quisine. Not big on tomato sauces unless I'm eating Italian. People always think cajuns cook everything with tomatoes, but it's not true. That's CREOLE cooking and, believe me, it isn't the same thing! Love to bake during the winter months - blackberry and fig tarts, cakes, breads, anything - I love the way it makes the house smell and feel when it's cold and wet outside.
