Louisiana

Shaped a little like a pirate’s boot, the Bayou State is pressed between Texas and Mississippi along the Gulf of Mexico. More storied than perhaps any other culinary region of the United States, Louisiana is where ancient culinary traditions collided, creating a uniquely American regional cuisine. Creoles and French-Canadian Cajuns adapted their Spanish- and French-inspired food traditions to make use of local ingredients like powdered sassafras leaves (known as filé powder). In a region already known for its cooking, New Orleans stands out as the undisputed food capital of the South, if not the country. New Orleans is the home of such delights as dirty rice, blackened redfish, gumbo, muffuletta sandwiches, bananas foster, king cake, soft-shell crab po'boy sandwiches, and the Crescent City breakfast of beignets and chicory-flavored coffee with steamed milk (cafe au lait).

Schnitzel

Pretty good! Purists may scoff at the title, but I enjoyed using cube steak in a new way. Thanks for the recipe!

Granny Kat's Pumpkin Roll

Reviewed on May 8, 2008 by HB
I really enjoyed this. It was a little bit of work, but I have never made a rolled cake before. I made it for Thanksgiving, and everyone really enjoyed it (although one person said it was too cake-y), and of course their favorite part was the frosting! I'm sure I will be making this again.

Caramel Pecan Pie

Reviewed on May 8, 2008 by HB
This was great! Tasted just like regular pecan pie (in case you are worried that it would be too caramel-y). I made it for Christmas dinner, and it was the first time I EVER made pecan pie, and everyone loved it. My dad even finished it later that night! Very easy, I will definitely be making this again!
