LOT-GRAB

September 12, 2013        

Dirty Bird tastes mighty fine smothered down and served over rice with a nice pan gravy, and that's what we had after the Saints defense went to heroic lengths to ensure a win in their season opener on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. That was a great way to kick off the season, and I'm looking forward to more of the same.

Believe it or not, it's time to start your holiday shopping. A subscription to Louisiana Kitchen & Culture makes a great gift. Orders placed now will go into the queue and be delivered just before Christmas, along with a custom notecard if you'd like. Order one for yourself while you're at it -- subscriptions fuel our business, and keep this newsletter free to you. You can order a trial subscription for as little as $10, an annual subscription for $25, or go whole hog and order the Bundle+ and get every single issue -- all of 2012, 2013, and 2014 -- for $65.

Congratulations to Chef Jason Huguet of Steamboat Warehouse restaurant in Washington, LA. He cleaned up at Soirée Royale in Opelousas this week, taking Best of Show, People's Choice, 1st place in the seafood category, and 2nd place in the soup category. He's got a recipe in the Sept/Oct issue of the magazine, and you'll see him featured in-depth early next year.

Last night I enjoyed a preview of the dinner Dickie Brennan & Co. are preparing October 3 at the James Beard House in New York. Should you find yourself in the region on that date, see if there's a seat available; take a look at the menu and wine pairings here, and you might book yourself a flight just for the dinner -- if you can find a ticket. It's sold out as of press time.

Don't forget to enter for a chance to win tickets to Rouge et Blanc in Lake Charles; entry form closes at the end of the month.

We've given our website a little facelift. You'll find more than 1,000 recipes there, most of which do not appear in the magazine. Each recipe has built in social media tags, allowing you to easily repost to Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. Browse through and let us know what you think.

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

Local seafood

italian-sausage-white-beans

 

Italian Sausage with White Beans

This dish cooks for almost an hour, but requires maybe ten minutes of hands-on time. Once it's prepped, sausages, tomatoes, and seasonings go into a roasting pan then into the oven. Pull it out after 45 minutes, stir in some beans, return to the oven, and heat through. Serve with crusty bread and a big salad, and that's a quick weeknight meal.

shrimp-scallop-fettucine

Shrimp and Scallop Fettucine

This is a simple yet very tasty recipe. Shrimp and scallops are seared off quickly and put to the side; garlic goes in the pan to flavor remaining oil. Deglaze with a little wine, soften some tomatoes, season with parsley and lemon, and serve over beds of al dente fettucine. That's easy.

old-fashioned-chocolate-pudding

Old-Fashioned Chocolate Pudding

This is it -- the chocolate pudding your grandmother used to make. Thick, rich, creamy, and deeply chocolate, pure decadence in a bowl. From Chef David Guas' James Beard Award-nominated cookbook Dam Good Sweets, Chef says if you're in the mood for chocolate cream pie, make the recipe as instructed, fold in one cup of fairly stiff whipped cream. Spread into a pre-baked pie crust and top with more whipped cream and chocolate curls. Two recipes for the price of one.
