Notes about Recipes in this book

• Louisiana gumbo

    We used probably double the heart of palm, extra beans because we didn’t have okra— delicious. Maybe needs a touch more vinegar?

• Creamy red beans & parsley rice

    Really liked this, comparable delicious flavor to Mississippi Vegan red beans and rice on his website

• Sweet & salty cast-iron cornbread

    Cornbread so good you can eat it plain. Stayed moist too which I appreciate. Southerners may object because this is a sweeter cornbread, but this northern girl appreciates both kinds. The pan was gone by the next morning, so the rest of my household agreed! This is a repeater, in fact I may make another one tonight to go with our leftover collards.

    Super easy and delicious!

• Louisiana collard greens

  • sayeater on September 30, 2024

    Oh wow. These are so delicious. I'm vegetarian so have never had the traditional meat version, but I could sit down with the whole pot of these and eat them all. My husband made collard greens the traditional way on the same day and my son was just as happy eating my version as he was eating his. I feel like these are missing nothing, so flavorful with just the right amount of spice to tickle your tongue, and the greens themselves are so tender. I will make these over and over. Made the cornbread from this book too to go alongside (also a big hit with family).
