Authentic Southern Cooking with Chuck and Miss Lorraine: Home Cooking with New Orleans Style Flavor

“Authentic Southern Cooking with Chuck and Miss Loraine” (Book Description) Louisiana born husband and wife Chuck and Miss Lorraine Lizana introduce recipes from past generations along with their own creativity and 25 years of experience in the restaurant industry. Their presentation of Southern style cooking is based on the New Orleans flavors of Cajun, Creole and African American cuisine. You’ll learn new ways to give familiar ingredients lots of flavor and a little zip. The Lizanas will introduce you to Shrimp-Rice Fritters and Sweet Potato Dip. Enjoy hearty Gumbo made with okra whose seeds were transported to a new land by Africans; or Gumbo made with file´ powder introduced by the Choctaw Indians. Try the spicy Creole Sausage and Ham Jambalaya along with Collard Greens, Crawfish Monica, and Chuck’s Deep-Fried Catfish. Add to that Hot Water Cornbread like Grandma Lou use to cook on her cast-iron wood stove. And don’t leave out the mouth-watering desserts like warm Peach Cobbler, “Real” Banana Pudding, and Miss Betty’s Red Velvet Cake. This cookbook would not be complete without recipes for “New Orleans Style” Red Beans and Rice, N’awlins Bread Pudding, and Hot Sausage Po’boys as the Lagniappe (a little something extra). This is more than a recipe book, as the Lizanas share their stories of the traditions and cultures they grew up with in Southeast Louisiana. Add a little flavor in your life and enjoy Authentic Southern Cooking with Chuck and Miss Lorraine.
