Cook the Book: 'Crescent City Cooking'

It's a toss up between really good gumbo and a crawfish boil.

I will preface this quote by stating I am not a sane person, which may help explain why this picture makes me think of Hedwig & The Angry Inch:

"Hedwig: The taste is completely different from a gummi bear, yet somehow familiar. It's much sweeter that a gummi bear.
Hansel: Wow.
Hedwig: And softer too.
Hansel:I feel so optimistic.
Hedwig: I suddenly recognize the flavor in my mouth. It's the taste of power.
. . .
Hedwig: He searches my face for news of his fate. His expression is echoed in scores of tiny faces pressing against clear plastic. Panting faces of every imaginable color, creed, and non-Aryan origin. Fogging up the bag like the windows of a Polish bath house, I stumble naked through the ruins, back towards blander, less complicated confections, leaving in my wake a trail of rainbow carnage."

Yeah, I'm weird

Suggestions for Great Camping Food?

I second the dutch oven idea. If you have one, there's nothing you can't cook while camping. I've even made pizza in a dutch oven using canned biscuit dough as the crust. And cobblers are great in a dutch oven for dessert.

Dutch ovens aside, foil packet cooking is always easy and you can actually get pretty creative. Salmon, dill, asparagus, lemon, pat of butter and either a bit of water or white wine and you've got a whole meal in a bag. Best part - no dishes. And the possibilities are endless.

Condé Nast Traveler's Hot List Tables 2007

I don't get the list either. The one restaurant listed for New Orleans is (inexplicably) Riche. It's little more than a crappy casino restaurant which Todd English has little to nothing to do with. In fact the only good thing I have heard about it, is that people like the onion soup.

It's really a shame too. The fastest growing industry in this town since the storm is probably the restaurant industry. So many better choices to choose from.

Killer Cajun Crawfish

um . . . While I am sure that recipe is in fact delicious, it definitely isn't Cajun.

Here's the easiest way to make boiled crawfish. Fill a pot with water. Throw in garlic, lemons, onions, salt cayenne and some Zatarain's crab boil (either liquid or dry works). Let it boil for a bit to make sure the water is fully flavored. add new potatoes and biol for 5 or so minutes, then add crawfish and boil for another 5 or so minutes. Serve immediately. Voila, real Cajun boiled crawfish.

you can buy Zatarain's products through their website here.

Question of the Day: What surprises your friends most to hear that you make yourself?

Definitely pizza crust. My grandmother taught me how and it's ridiculously easy.

People thinks it's way more work than it is. My brother's fiancee thinks I'm crazy (this comes from the girl who actually purchases pizza crust in a bag that you just add water to).

Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us

I am not sure which is scarier, that this recipe exists, or that , according to reviews, there are people who have actually made and eaten these things.

My First Recipe

Congrats on your first recipe. You'll get the hang of it soon. You already seem to know how flavors, ingredients and textures work together. Once you realize you have a firm grasp on this, you'll be inventing things left and right.

Your King Cake recipes. Laissez les bons temps rouler

Normally, here in New Orleans, a regular Kin Cake is just bread, colored sugar and icing. Most bakeries also make filled, but he plain bread is standard fare.
