FoodLOVE is my opportunity to talk about my love affair with food, nutrition and the marriage of the two. We live in a world of diets, don'ts, low fats and "food-like" products. What happened to real food? Loving food?
In South Louisiana, food is at the center of everyone's lives. It's a reason to celebrate, the center of every party or get together.. it's a reason to "get down" from the car and come inside.
This all started with my grandfather, "Papa", who only ate real FULL FAT butter. He cooked just about everything in a cast iron skillet, and he drove "down the bayou" to get shrimp and seafood. He had his favorite produce dealers and was a frequent buyer of "omaha steaks." He appreciated good products, real food, and sharing it with the rest of our large family.
I'll be sharing some of his recipes that I've tweaked over the years, some of my own, and some that I've gathered from friends and colleagues. Let me know how you like em'!
Now go ahead... dig in.
And while you're at it... enjoy it!
