ABOUT THE AUTHOR In 1958 Marcelle Reese Couhig, known as "Nootsie," and her husband Robert purchased the Asphodel Plantation in West Feliciana Parish. With the family occupying one portion of the Asphodel Plantation, the Couhigs opened a restaurant in another part of the house. Couhig operated her own gift shop in the plantation, notable for its many unique dollhouses and miniatures. Although the family eventually moved from Asphodel, they continued to operate the restaurant until the late 1980s. Couhig is widely remembered in "Asphodel Village" for her original bread recipe, known as Asphodel Bread-a recipe she divulges in her cookbook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, James Beard Foundation Book Award, 2016 Art of Eating Prize, 2015 BCALA Outstanding Contribution to Publishing Citation, Black Caucus of the American Library Association, 2016 Women of African descent have contributed to America’s food culture for centuries, but their rich and varied involvement is still overshadowed by the demeaning stereotype of an illiterate “Aunt Jemima” who cooked mostly by natural instinct. To discover the true role of black women in the creation of American, and especially southern, cuisine, Toni Tipton-Martin has spent years amassing one of the world’s largest private collections of cookbooks published by African American authors, looking for evidence of their impact on American food, families, and communities and for ways we might use that knowledge to inspire community wellness of every kind. The Jemima Code presents more than 150 black cookbooks that range from a rare 1827 house servant’s manual, the first book published by an African American in the trade, to modern classics by authors such as Edna Lewis and Vertamae Grosvenor. The books are arranged chronologically and illustrated with photos of their covers; many also display selected interior pages, including recipes. Tipton-Martin provides notes on the authors and their contributions and the significance of each book, while her chapter introductions summarize the cultural history reflected in the books that follow. These cookbooks offer firsthand evidence that African Americans cooked creative masterpieces from meager provisions, educated young chefs, operated food businesses, and nourished the African American community through the long struggle for human rights. The Jemima Code transforms America’s most maligned kitchen servant into an inspirational and powerful model of culinary wisdom and cultural authority.
Download or read book MY LOUISIANA Cookbook written by Karen Becnel and published by . This book was released on 2023-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Recipes in the "My Louisiana Cookbook" are exemplary of the style and manner of cooking that developed in Louisiana along the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans and along Bayou Lafourche in Thibodaux.This area includes the parishes of St. James, St. John the Baptist, and Lafourche. Louisiana's history is truly unique; we are divided into parishes instead of counties and are still greatly influenced by Napoleonic Code, also referred to as French Colonial Law.At the time the inhabitants of this area were Native American, Spanish, German, French, African, and some English. Families were usually large, and survival depended entirely on the grace of God, the land, and its bounty.These early settlers cleared the land, farmed, fished, trapped, and raised cattle, pigs, chickens, pigeons, and whatever else could be eaten to feed their families. Neighbors also bartered to make things a little easier.These families started plantations and experimented with crops to decide what would be most feasible. By the early 1800s, most landowners had settled on sugar cane, which is still the main agricultural crop today.The style of cooking was influenced directly and totally by their style of living. For example, corn soup was prepared in the summer when corn, tomatoes, and river shrimp were plentiful. Pork was a winter food, as there was no refrigeration. When a Boucherie (the butchering of a pig) was performed by any family, the meat was shared with neighboring families, who in turn usually helped with the Boucherie. A large portion of the pork was salted and stored in barrels in order to preserve it. Later, it would be used to season beans, greens, and any number of other dishes.Due to our subtropical temperatures and climate, we have two growing seasons in Louisiana. This enables us to grow a large variety of fruits and vegetables, almost year-round.So, it was never a problem to decide what to cook but rather how to combine what was available into a useful, enjoyable, variety-rich, everyday style of cooking.

Download or read book Sook s Cookbook written by Marie Rudisill and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sook's Cookbook brims with delicious, uniquely southern recipes such as green olive jambalaya, watermelon rind preserves, and poinsettia cake, as well as classic buttermilk biscuits and lemon meringue pie. Marie Rudisill first began working on Sook's Cookbook with her nephew, Truman Capote, in the late 1940s to pay tribute to her charming, eccentric aunt, Sook Faulk. After putting the project aside for many years, Rudisill developed the book's methodology on her own: using nineteenth-century plantation daybooks for inspiration, she paired recipes with profiles of family and community cooks.In these pages, you'll meet Sook -- made famous in Capote's story, "A Christmas Memory" -- with her kitchen windowsill herb garden (complete with two pet chameleons to ward off bugs) and her penchant for cooking on her big, black woodstove year-round -- even on the hottest summer days. Recipes for tea sugar cookies and lemon-and-parsley butter tea sandwiches follow the profile of Marie's aunt Jenny, who ran the Faulk household, as well as her own renowned hat and accessory shop. Rudisill also spotlights often-overlooked cooks -- Little Bit, the official house cook, and Corrie Wolff, a housekeeper and occasional cook, whose recipes feature the Cajun and Creole flavors of Louisiana, as well as Sem, who prepared special food for parties, weddings, and funerals. In his foreword, Gourmet contributing editor John T. Edge calls Sook's Cookbook -- first published in 1989 -- "one of the most compelling regional cookbooks of the latter half of the twentieth century." He also celebrates Marie Rudisill's character and spirit -- from her sassy appearances on the Tonight Show, where she became known as the Fruitcake Lady, to her deep appreciation of the people and the old southern ways she knew and loved in Monroeville, Alabama. Much more than a cookbook, these pages pay homage to a small town in the Deep South and the intriguing people who made it come alive.

The book reveals the recipes of numerous drinks unique to this area but now widely known and enjoyed. More than a simple cookbook, Louisiana Cookery offers commentary on and history of the dishes, including entertaining and informative accounts of how certain recipes were created, with quotes from chefs famous and unknown.
