Crawfish Etouffee Recipe at Nola Cuisine

From Nola Cuisine

I just finished my Crawfish Etouffee today, with the recipe at Nola Cuisine. I used the leftover crawfish tail meat from my spring Crawfish Boil...

...and the Crawfish stock that I made from the leftover shells, to make a really awesome Crawfish Etouffee, which, like my Shrimp Etouffee, is not shy with the butter, or flavor for that matter. I hope you enjoy it!

Real Cajun: Rustic Home Cooking from Donald Link’s Louisiana

From Cochon Butcher

I received my purchased copy of Chef Donald Link's new cookbook Real Cajun: Rustic Home Cooking from Donald Link’s Louisiana in the mail last Thursday and absolutely love it. I wrote a review at my main site Nola Cuisine (Real Cajun review.)

As most readers of my site know, I am a big fan of Donald Link and his restaurant Cochon, and most recently Cochon Butcher.

I am absolutely thrilled with his new cookbook, and am already wearing it out. In my review I show some pics of the recipes that I have tried thus far.

Crawfish Boil Recipe at Nola Cuisine

From Crawfish Boil

Charlie from Cajun Grocer was kind enough to send me 15 lbs of their wonderful Live Louisiana Crawfish, so I was more than thrilled to have a crawfish boil over the weekend with a few family and friends. I got a ton of great pictures that I am really happy with and which I hope do those large beautiful crawfish justice.

Turducken at Nola Cuisine

From Nola Cuisine

Elliot from Cajun Grocer asked me if I would like to review their Turducken at Nola Cuisine. At first I had apprehensions, but I eventually said what the hell, as long as I can do an unbiased review.

I served the Turducken with my Maque Choux and a new one that I will be posting shortly, Praline Sweet Potatoes.

Here is my Turducken Post.
