"Some people think that New Orleans cuisine is Cajun cuisine. It isn't. It's Creole cuisine, where most sauces and gravies are prepared with tomato.

"This recipe was a culmination of several recipes that I ran across through the years. It is time consuming but it is worth it. Note: The roux is probably the most important part of making a gumbo, take your time and you will be rewarded (To quote Alton Brown). The darker the color, the richer it will be. I like mine very dark."

"I know, another gumbo recipe....This one is from 'Plantation Celebrations', the cookbook I received from the best swap partner ever, Luby, in the latest swap. The addition of the shrimp was my idea.

"You couldn't get any more authentic. This was taught to me by my Cajun maternal grandmother who was taught by her maternal grandmother. I've never run across a gumbo recipe with "parsley meatballs". These are optional. I asked my mom about this and she said that this was probably used to "extend" the gumbo because there..."

"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. But I like the shopping list aspect of this site, so I thought I'd plug this one in for myself. I suggest you take this list to the market and then see..."

"I went to the Rainforest Cafe in Chicago a few years ago, and happened to order the Jambalaya. I had never had Jambalaya, and from the menu it looked a good choice, but I can honestly say, It was the best meal I have ever eaten.
