374 Words1 Page

Louisiana has several magazines that focus on food and drink but I have to admit that one of my favorites is Louisiana Cookin'. They produce some of the most amazing recipes and spotlight places, dishes and drinks throughout the state of Louisiana.

I'm told when foreigners (non Louisiana residents) think of Louisiana, they think Mardi Gras, drive thru daiquiri shops and food in particular seafood. Whether it's fried shrimp, gumbo or a crawfish boil, people are mesmerized by Louisiana seafood dishes.

My friends at Louisiana Cookin' have now made it easy for anyone anywhere to enjoy Louisiana seafood dishes. I present to you Louisiana De Mer.

Do you guys love cookbooks as much as I do? There's something about skimming through a cookbook and looking at the pictures that makes me instantly hungry and then I think I'm a chef in a 3 star Michelin restaurant. So I'm the only person that thinks that?

Anyway... …show more content…

From Crawfish and Stone-Ground Grits Gratin and Crab-Stuffed Shrimp (pictured above) to basic spice blends and trinity recipes, Louisiana De Mer has a little bit of everything. The cookbook is divided into sections Carnival Time, Spring Abundance, Fresh & Simple, Comfort Classics and Holiday Fetes. There are several recipes for every season.

    There are many proposals to fix these problems. These proposals include implementation of stricter recreational and commercial seafood harvest limits, continue rebuilding/building of levees to stop further coastal erosion that would promote more seafood habitat, and more stringent regulation of offshore drilling. (Or elimination of offshore drilling entirely). Though that option would cause an economical catastrophe in Louisiana due to the massive revenue we take in from drilling. Though the debate is ongoing as to how to fix our current problem, most people can agree that this destruction is real, and must be reversed immediately.

  • Acadian's Influence On Modern Day Cuisine

    2018 Words  | 5 Pages

    Whenever someone thinks of Louisiana, they probably imagine crawfish boils, steaming seafood, and some type of gumbo or jambalaya. While many people know of the Cajun cuisine, not everyone knows about the history and the influence the Acadians had on the style of cooking. Acadians were simple people who lived off the land of Louisiana. They fished in the waterlines and cultivated crops that they used in their cooking. By manipulating what was available to them and creating unique dishes, the Acadians inadvertently developed an unprecedented cuisine. The history, culture, and cooking style would later influence and create the modern day cuisine, known as Cajun.

  • Comparing Two Seafood Restaurants

    578 Words  | 2 Pages

    Pappadeux offers elegant, elaborate dishes on its menu, while the food described on the menu of Joe's Crab Shack is the sort which tastes best when accompanied by an ice-cold beer and a large plate of french fries. For example, my favorite meal at Pappadeux consists of a flaky filet of red snapper blackened in hot Cajun spices and smothered in a rich Bearnaise sauce. It is then topped with lightly sauted crawfish tails and mushrooms. Once this concoction touches the tongue, it simply melts. On the other hand, Joe's Crab Shack has been made famous for its barbecued crabs. The cook begins by slowly cooking small dungeoness crabs in a large barbecue pit. Once the crabs have been seared to perfection, the cook tosses them on a large tray, and they are ready for presentation. The waiter then serves these divine crabs with a hammer, a bib, and a roll of paper towels. After pounding on the shell for five minutes, the lucky diner discovers a piece of crab meat which, like the snapper filet, melts in the mouth.
