I grew up in New Orleans. I love to cook. I love to eat. Some favorite styles of cooking…

· New Orleans Creole. Gumbo, jambalaya, shrimp creole, crawfish etouffee, shrimp remoulade. Yum.

· Southern. Fried catfish, okra perloo, collard greens with spice cornbread, barbeque. Mmm mmm.

· Indian. I do a variety of curries, mostly Indian and Thai (as well as a West Indian seafood curry with mace) and other Indian dishes

· Invention. I rarely work from recipes, and so invent lots of things that aren’t easily categorized (but are easily consumed).
Here are two recipes, one for a seafood gumbo and one for a Caribbean seafood curry.

There’s nothing like putting on good music, making a good drink, and cooking up a good meal for Zen contentment with life.
Speaking of drinks, Rum makes a great starting point. In Hawaii I learned to make a killer Mai Tai, and I’ve adapted the recipe for a Hotel Nacional from the Black Sparrow in Lafayette – the key is homemade ginger syrup.
My other favorite drink is a Pimm’s Cup. Learned about those in England…
