I didn't realize it until I sat down the try to type this, I don't know HOW I make gumbo!Gumbo isn't about recipes. I never saw my Maw Maw's recipe because she didn't have one. Gumbo is cooked with instinct and heart. Gumbo is a..."

"I havent seen too many Okra recipes on Zaar, so i decided to post my favorite. My Grandmother taught me how to make this dish when I was 11, and I've been making it ever since. Its a great along side smothered steak and mashed potatoes, or rice."

Ingredients: frozen cut okra, diced tomatoes...

"All the gumbos you find that have tomatoes or okra are not cajun. That is creole. These are two completely different cultures. Cajun is a simple, cheap, tasty, country, low swamp land culture. Creole, is a higher class, city folk, type of culture that requires more expensive and extensive ingredients.
Do not use more andouille than the recipe..."

"Rich, warm, spicy soup – there is nothing more satisfying on a cold day! The secret to this delicious chowder is the smoked chicken & habenero sausage. Chef Aidell and Chef Emeril make a good one.

Ingredients: cream, creamed corn...

"Here's an easy recipe for nice gumbo that you can play with. I rarely follow recipes as I think cooking should be an adventure and I enjoy the surprise of each preparation's variations.

"If you're looking for quick, inexpensive way to feed a hungry bunch, this tasty dish may be the answer. Basically, have doctored some directions on back of frozen food package.
