Rumor has it that they're finally harvesting Creole tomatoes. I'm going to take myself across the river to the Becnel produce stand tomorrow morning to stock up; my favorite of all the summer fruits and vegetables. I'll slice and eat at least 5 tomatoes every week that they're in season.

For the recipes this week I'm starting with an easy crawfish pie recipe Chef Darin Nesbit prepared for a cooking demonstration stage I produced a few years ago; it's easy and delicious. Next, a catfish dish that was developed by a 4-H team from Oklahoma -- it took first place in a cooking competition I judged a few years ago. And finally, a light and refreshing shrimp salad from Chef John Folse. Serve it as presented in a hollowed-out tomato, or on a crisp bed of lettuce.

Enjoy the recipes, stay safe and healthy, and, as always, let me know what's on your mind.

Best regards,

Crawfish Pie

A chef prepared this dish for me on a cooking demonstration stage in less than 30 minutes-- he had the crust prepared and chilled. It was absolutely delicious.

Southwest Okie Catfish

Southwest Okie Catfish

This dish was developed and prepared by the Oklahoma 4-H team for a cooking competition here in New Orleans a few years ago, and it took first place. All the components are delicious, plus it's healthy.!

Shrimp Stuffed Creole Tomato Salad

Shrimp Stuffed Creole Tomato Salad

This is a delightlfully light and refreshing shrimp salad. Chef Folse serves it in a hollowed out ripe tomato but it would be equally as good over a bed of crisp lettuce.
