FEATURED COOKBOOK (FOR DISCUSSION):

Kevin Belton's Big Flavors of New Orleans by Kevin Belton
 

Join Chef Kevin Belton on a culinary journey through New Orleans, featuring authentic Creole recipes and techniques from making perfect roux to mastering Louisiana classics like gumbo, jambalaya, and po'boys with his famous big-flavor approach.

Chef Kevin Belton, a true Creole New Orleanian, dishes up the culinary history of his city with recipes that provide both down-home comfort and the big flavors he is famous for. He teaches how to make a perfect roux and explains the background of that holiest trinity of Creole cooking–celery, onion, and bell pepper–while offering his spin on the Louisiana classics of gumbo, jambalaya, étouffée, po’boys, and grillades with grits.

Chef Belton’s signature dishes like Pecan-Crusted Redfish, Stuffed Mirlitons, Louisiana Boudin-Stuffed Quail, Creole Cottage Pie, and Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce are not to be missed and are well worth the time in the kitchen!
