Charter Subscribers who purchased a two-year subscription starting with the very first issue of the magazine: your subscription is about to expire, and you should have received your first notice via email from us earlier this week. Many of you responded; if you overlooked the notice or forgot to respond, here's the link to renew online.

Last week I asked for reader input on where to go in Louisiana for BBQ. Not surprisingly, no one got very excited; we're not exactly known for our BBQ. Big Mike's BBQ and Smokehouse in Houma is the only place to be mentioned by more than one reader; I'll be sure to check it out next time I'm in the area.

King cake, on the other hand, generated enthusiasm. Interestingly enough, it seems that a few enterprising UPS store franchisees have hooked up with bakeries and are shipping king cakes. Got to love the entrepreneurial spirit.

Meche's Donut King and Keller's in Lafayette were mentioned several times; Rouses, La Divina, and Gambino's, all in various locations; Misse's in Sulphur; Cajun Pecan House in Cut Off; Haydel's and Sucre in New Orleans; Manny Randazzo's in Metairie; Market Basket and Delicious Donuts in Lake Charles; Julie Ann's in Shreveport; Hi-Do Bakery in Terrytown; Mr. Ronnie's in Houma; Calvin's and Calandro's in Baton Rouge; Antoine's Famous Cakes in Gretna; readers raved about all of these.

For those of you who do not yet subscribe to our print magazine, I have put together an exclusive look at some of the pages. I almost never publish the recipes we develop for print to the newsletter or website, so this is indeed a special occasion. BUT, we hear time and time again from new subscribers about how excited they were when they picked up a print copy, so I decided I'd give those of you who are not familiar with the magazine a sneak peek. Click the links below for pages from our July/August 2013 edition:

If you like what you see, subscribe to the print magazine so you don't miss any of the fun. Remember, it makes a great gift for friends and family, too.


Enjoy this week's recipes, share them with family and friends, and, as always, let me know what's on your mind
